Dashing Hopes - Carefully Folded Letters

I'll strangle myself with this phonecord before I
Listen to another sordid story, excuse, or feeble alibi
So you can't leave me hanging;
Please tell me where it hurts and I
Will tell you that it's over

We stumble backwards on scrapped knees
Over bending hearts that break and bleed
And we wonder,
While we papercut the tie that binds
With carefully folded letters

This is the last time you will hear my voice
And this is the last letter I will send your way
As this blade slices into my skin
I hope you feel it
I hope you feel it

(ahhhh)
Now I know
(NOW I KNOW)
I'm alone
(I'M ALONE)
Now I know
(NOW I KNOW)
I'm alone
(I'M ALONE)

(ahhhh)
Why can't you see
That there's so much more me
(so much more to me)
Why can't you see
(KNOW I KNOW)
That there's no taking this back
(YOU WON'T TAKE THIS BACK)
I hope it hurts you
(HOPE IT HURTS YOU)
I hope it hurts you
To watch me go

Before you leave
I just have to know
Will you still be smiling
When they're
(when they're)
Shoveling
(SHOVELING)
(SHOVELING)
Dirt onto my grave

We stumble backwards on scrapped knees
Over bending hearts that break and bleed
And we wonder,
While we papercut the tie that binds
With carefully folded letters

(NOW I KNOW)
(NOW I KNOW)
(I'M ALONE)
(I'M ALONE)
(ahhhh)
