Like Knives

Your words are like knives They peel the skin and pierce my soul Your body will learn to love And now your heart may still let go

And I WILL blame myself And I WILL blame myself FOR holding on to what I hope will keep you by my side And I WILL blame myself MY sheets are stained with Memories of your soft kiss NOW this is all I have Deeper than I can let go And I am aware

And I WILL blame myself And I WILL blame myself FOR holding on to what I hope will keep you by my side And I WILL blame myself

CAN I have you? CAN I have you? WHY CAN'T I have you?

FOR holding on to what I HOPED WOULD keep you by my side

Thanks man. I got the lyrics from somewhere else, and they seemed pretty correct, so I just copied them. I'll edit now.

man i feel that

I got Dallas to play this song at scene festival.

Like Knives: Your words are like knives They peel my skin and pierce my soul… Your body will burn tonight… Though your heart may still remain cold

And I will blame myself And I will blame myself For holding on to what I hoped would keep you by my side I will blame myself

The Sheets are stained with… Memories of your soft kiss Now this is all I have Paper and pen to remember you with

And I will blame myself And I will blame myself For holding on to what I hoped would keep you by my side I will blame myself Can I have you… (x4)

These are the actual lyrics.

Your words are like knives They peel my skin and pierce my soul

Pretty obvious what he means here.

Your body will burn tonight… Though your heart may still remain cold

I think Dallas is talking about this girl in the song. Her body may burn tonight....she may have found another relationship/another guy. However, it wont fulfill her, her heart will still remain cold, it wont be love, itll be just another senseless/meaningless relationship.

And I will blame myself And I will blame myself For holding on to what I hoped would keep you by my side I will blame myself

He's obviously blaming himself for what broke him and this girl that he loves apart. He sees it as his fault. He also blames his continued love for her and all his memories. His memories are what he holds onto that he hoped would keep her by his side.

The Sheets are stained with… Memories of your soft kiss Now this is all I have Paper and pen to remember you with

Obvious meaning in the first two lines. Now all he haves is a paper and pen to remember you with. He used to have this love from this girl. He used have everything. Now he has nothing but memories and a paper and pen to express them with.

i love this song,lots of meaning. i agree with just about everything fakesoundofprogress said:) ellixox

i see this song differently. it suppose its because of stuff that is currently happening in my life atm. i think its about a girl, but shes led the guy on.

Your body will learn to love And now your heart may still let go

she was only involved in the physical stuff...her heart never had any say in it.

and i will blame myslef for holding on to what I hoped would keep you by my side.

he thought he could make her see past the physical stuff. he thought that maybe she will fall in love with him. he blames himself for being so stupid. for believing that such a thing could have ever worked to his favour.

Can I have you? Can I have you? Why can't I have you?

shes moved on. shes over him. he's heartbroken. why cant he have her? he loves her. what will she get from any other guy? she never cared at all and now she gone and he has to deal with what has happened to his heart.
