Cut It Away

[Chorus]

Cut it away

Somebody cut away this desperate heart

Cut it away

And help me find my way back to the start

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah

Before I knew what I was looking for

Yeah

When we were lovers and nothing more

[Verse 1]

I wanted you (I wanted you)

And I did everything that I could do (That I could do)

To capture you (To capture you)

I let you see (I let you see)

The part of me (The part of me)

You'd want to see (You'd want to see)

A fantasy (A fantasy)

I'm finding now (I'm finding now)

I don't know how (I don't know how)

To make it good (To make it good)

I wish I could

[Chorus]

Cut it away

This crazy longing for something more

Cut it away

The question I don't have an answer for

[Post-Chorus]

Why I hunger

For something I can't see

Cut it away

The dream I wanted life to be

[Chorus]

I know

I've got to let you go

I know

You should have left a long time ago—

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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
