Cut Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If only you'd never speak to me
The way that you do
If only you'd never speak like that
It's like listening to
A breaking heart, falling sky
Fire go out and friendship die
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do

[Verse 2]
If only you'd never look at me
The way that you do
If only you'd never look like that
When I look at you
I see face like stone, eyes of ice
Mouth so sweetly telling lies
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do

[Chorus]
But you don't
You don't feel anymore
You don't care anymore
It's all gone, it's all gone, it's all gone
[Verse 3]
If only you'd never pull from me
The way that you do
If only you'd never pull like that
When I'm with you
I feel hopeless hands helplessly
Pulling you back close to me
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do

[Chorus]
But you don't
You don't feel anymore
You don't care anymore
It's all gone, it's all gone, it's all gone

[Bridge]
If only you'd ever speak to me
The way you once did
Look at me the way you once did
Pull to me the way you once did

[Chorus]
But you don't
You don't feel anymore
You don't care anymore
It's all gone, it's all...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
