Like a Knife

Meadowlark

It cut through me like a knife, but it's life
And what am I supposed to do?
'Cause when you took away my eyes
I was blind and didn't see it coming through
And all of the lies you said over time
Did they mean a thing to you?
'Cause I'm paralyzed

It cut through me like a knife
Cut through me like a knife
Cut through me like a knife
It cut through me like a knife
Cut through me like a knife
Cut through me like a knife

You think you've got it all
Build your walls higher than the ones before
But they've got pockets full of coal
They say it's gold but they're the poorest of them all
And all of the lies you said over time
Did they mean a thing to you?
'Cause I'm paralyzed

It cut through me like a knife
Cut through me like a knife
Cut through me like a knife
It cut through me like a knife
Cut through me like a knife
Cut through me like a knife
Oh, I can't remember the last time I felt like you
It cut through me like a knife
Cut through me like a knife
Cut through me like a knife
And you can try to tear us down

But you're never gonna take away our loudest song
We'll build a choir for the tired and the silent ones
You took away all our holy water and all our bricks and mortar
But you lied, yeah you lied, yeah you lied
You lied, yeah you lied, yeah you lied

And it cut through me like a knife, but it's life
And what am I supposed to do?
'Cause when you took away our eyes
We were blind and didn't see it coming through

Oh, I can't remember the last time I felt like you
It cut through me like a knife
Cut through me like a knife
Cut through me like a knife
It cut through me like a knife
Cut through me like a knife
Cut through me like a knife
