Your Sword Versus My Dagger

I'm cutting through, you're bleeding out And I would tell the truth but I can't help myself Red rushes out, dissect this nerve And I'll stop myself before I reach my cell I wasn't asking for the world And you know that I'm not one to follow through All these city streets the people look the same And I can see your face, and I can hear your name I wasn't asking for the world You're stabbing in, permanent scars And you'll justify it all inside yourself You've finished me, my pulse is gone And you're satisfied to put this all to hell I wasn't asking for the world And you know that I'm not one to follow through All these city streets the people look the same And I can see your face, and I can hear your name I wasn't asking for the world Drink the poison, when you think it's over Stabbing yourself, when you think it's too late Tragic endings are your thing, you love them Your love letting go, the ending's the same Drink the poison, when you think it's over Inevitable, Verona lives inside of you I wasn't asking for the world And you know that I'm not one to follow through All these city streets the people look the same And I can see your face, and I can hear your name I wasn't asking for the world
