cut it away

cut it away

somebody cut away this desperate heart

cut it away

and help me find my way back to the start

yeah

before i knew what i was looking for

yeah

when we were lovers and nothing more

i wanted you

and i did everything that i could do

to capture you

i let you see

the part of me

you'd want to see

a fantasy

i'm finding now

i don't know how

to make it good

i wish i could

cut it away

this crazy longing for something more

cut it away

the question i don't have an answer for

why i hunger

for something i can't see

cut it away

the dream i wanted life to be

i know

i've got to let you go

i know

you should have left a long time ago

protected by the night

two cities lay

two hearts

two lives

connected by our sight

worlds away

two hearts

two lives

inspected by the light

two hearts

two cities in decay

two lives

repair them as we might

two hearts

just go on crumbling

now come on

cut it away

i want to cut away this thing inside

cut it away

this thing that hid from you and schemed and lied

i know

i've got to let you go

i know

you should have left a long time ago

cut it away

somebody cut away this desperate heart

cut it away

before it tears my whole life apart

i love you

i love you still

i do

i always will
