She - Over the Rhine

What she would like to do

Is get you out of her head

She’s tried every trick

She’s so sick of thinking about it

What’s so special about you

You’re an ache she’s learned to crave

You’re a blade too dull to raise

But she cuts herself

On you every night

She’s just dying

To lay down the knife

What she would love to do

Is get you out of her bed

She’s played it over and over and over

In her head

But she cuts herself

On you every night

She’s just dying

To lay down the knife

She clings to what’s familiar

She thinks a change would kill her

What she ought to do

Is put a gun to your head

For all the things you said and did

But what she will not do

Is let you go before you’re gone

It’s everything that’s ever been wrong

But it’s all she’s ever known

So she cuts herself on you every night

She’s just dyin' to lay down her life
