Twist the Knife

[Verse] Tenderly, tenderly Please take my breath from me Into the fountain and up from the graves [Verse] Tearfully, joyfully Burn what is left of me I don't want these burdens that handsomely weigh [Chorus] You'll be my guest And I'll let you stay Leave me the check I'll pay with the rest of my life Twist the knife [Verse] Carefully, quietly You took what's young from me Didn't deserve it, I gave it away [Verse] Cowardly, thoughtlessly You walk away from me And I'll tear my heart out to save you the day [Chorus] You'll be my guest And I'll let you stay Leave me the check I'll pay with the rest of my life Twist the knife [Verse] Tenderly, tenderly Please take my breath from me Into the fountain and up from the graves
