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 all the time

Did they mean a thing to you?

'Cause I’m paralyzed

It cut through my like a knife

Cut through my like a knife

Cut through my like a knife

It cut through my like a knife

Cut through my like a knife

Cut through my like a knife

You think you’ve got it all, build your walls

Higher than the walls before

But they’ve got packets full of coal, they say it’s gold

But they’re the poorest of them all

And all of the lies you said all the time

Did they mean a thing to you?

'Cause I’m paralyzed

It cut through my like a knife

Cut through my like a knife

Cut through my like a knife

It cut through my like a knife

Cut through my like a knife

Cut through my like a knife

I can’t remember the last time I felt like you

It cut through my like a knife

Cut through my like a knife

Cut through my 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 poise

You took away your holy water and all our bricks and mortar

You lied, yeah you lied, yeah you lied

You lied, yeah you lied, yeah you lied

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

It cut through my like a knife

(I can’t remember the last time I felt like you)

Cut through my like a knife

Cut through my like a knife

It cut through my like a knife

Cut through my like a knife

Cut through my like a knife

It cut through my like a knife

Cut through my like a knife

Cut through my like a knife
