[Verse 1]
I had a knife, I had knife
But I cut myself wide
I never could, I never could
Hold a blade like I should
But I made no excuses, I knew
Oh, I knew

[Chorus]
Yes, I knew it would hurt
But I never did learn

[Verse 2]
I found a mouse, I found a mouse
But I held it too high
And it leaped from my hands and died
I never was, I never was
Quite careful enough
With the things that I loved, but I knew
But I knew
Oh, I knew

[Chorus]
Yes, I knew it would hurt
But I never did learn
From the pain
From the pain
