Like Knives Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your words are like knives
They peel my skin and pierce my soul
Your body will burn tonight
Though your heart may still remain cold
[Chorus]
And I will blame myself
And I will blame myself
For holding on to what I hoped would keep you by my side
I will blame myself
[Verse 2]
The sheets are stained with
Memories of your soft kiss
Now this is all I have
And paper and pen to remember you with
[Chorus]
And I will blame myself
And I will blame myself
For holding on to what I hoped would keep you by my side
I will blame myself
[Outro]
Can I have you?
Can I have you?
Can I have you?
And can I have you?
Your words are like knives
They peel my skin and pierce my soul
Your body will burn tonight
Though your heart may still remain cold
[Chorus]
And I will blame myself
And I will blame myself
For holding on to what I hoped would keep you by my side
I will blame myself
[Verse 2]
The sheets are stained with
Memories of your soft kiss
Now this is all I have
And paper and pen to remember you with
[Chorus]
And I will blame myself
And I will blame myself
For holding on to what I hoped would keep you by my side
I will blame myself
[Outro]
Can I have you?
Can I have you?
Can I have you?
And can I have you?
About
Genius Annotation
Seems to me that this song is about a breakup.
The first paragraph symbolizes a fight.
In the 2nd, he blames himself for relying on something he thought would keep them together.
Then in the third, he remembers the good times he had with her and realizes that he can only remember and nothing more.
He asks “Can I have you?” in hope of bringing the relationship back to life.
Brilliant song
