She Lyrics

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

Cover art for She lyrics by Over the Rhine

I love Karin's voice sooooo much in this melancholy song.

I think the song is about a woman who loves her man so deep that she couldn't help, even though he treats her bad. She just tolerates and love him without a reason, she "cuts herself on him every night". i can totally relate to "her", for i've experienced the same feeling. i loved him so much but he treated me like a whore.
