Cover art for Like Knives lyrics by City and Colour

I think... he knew it wasn't working out, but he held on anyways.

She is gonna leave him, and now he will only have paper and pen to remember her.

I feel like the end is almost like begging to yourself. Like when you're begging... but you know you won't get it. His pain is released in the last 4 verses. This song is so brilliant.
