Nothing says I love you like a Razor Blade Lyrics

Step back behind the yellow line
Exalt your new god here
When you catch this
If you catch this
I’ll be waiting on the other side
You never really know who you are until You’ve touched the bottom of that Iridescent glow
Trade your wings for fire
We’re still young

You’re so bold to pretend just make sure you’re scars are parallel
If you’re to be convincing like you hoped..

We’ll speak in tongues that no one knows
To work the crowd with care
While in the next room... in the next room I’ve got a closet full of life’s old bones
Now you’re graveyard’s spreading thin It’s got you buy the wrist
You’d do all of this just to keep me happy

You’re so bold to pretend just make sure you’re scars are parallel
If you’re to be convincing like you hoped
I’m so slow to amend well nothing says
I love you
Like that razor blade pressed between your lips

Now I got you where I want you..
Now I got you where I want you..You
Now I got you where I want you
Now I got you where I want you

Now I got you..
Now I got you where I want you

Tastes like Burning

Step back behind the yellow line 
Exalt your new god here
When you catch this 
If you catch this 
I’ll be waiting on the other side
You never really know who you are until You’ve touched the bottom of that Iridescent glow
Trade your wings for fire 
We’re still young

You’re so bold to pretend just make sure you’re scars are parallel
If you’re to be convincing like you hoped..

We’ll speak in tongues that no one knows 
To work the crowd with care
While in the next room... in the next room I’ve got a closet full of life’s old bones
Now you’re graveyard’s spreading thin It’s got you buy the wrist
You’d do all of this just to keep me happy

You’re so bold to pretend just make sure you’re scars are parallel
If you’re to be convincing like you hoped
I’m so slow to amend well nothing says 
I love you
Like that razor blade pressed between your lips

Now I got you where I want you..
Now I got you where I want you..You
Now I got you where I want you
Now I got you where I want you

Now I got you..
Now I got you where I want you

You’re so bold to pretend just make sure you’re scars are parallel
If you’re to be convincing like you hoped
I’m so slow to amend well nothing says 
I love you
Like that razor blade pressed between your lips

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song and i hope more people hear it and post their thoughts. I don't know why cutting is so fascinating, but "You’re so bold to pretend just make sure you’re scars are parallel If you’re to be convincing like you hoped" how can you not be intrigued by that line? Is he saying he wanted her to cut herself?

This is definitly my favorite song(well at the moment) But It will never fade off the chart like many TOP BILLBOARD ARTIST hits tend to do. I think will remain in my Top ten For a very long time. I like the acoustic version the best. It feels so real. I have one of their first albums and they didnt sound anything like this..But unlike all sequals and so forth, this i must say livesup to their potential.
