Severing the Knot
Who taught you to be unkind?
Who showed you this trick of the mind?
You turned me off like I was a light (switch)
Pulled the plug on us leaving my love blind

Nothing to look for
What can I
What can I look for
When you’re

Heartless
How could you be, how do we be
Without heart?
In the darkness
I could not see, you built a wall
Between we
And there’s no getting in
Only severing the knot
Could it really be?
Did you finally
Make the cut?

I can’t stop seeing your face
Underground circuit of wires has been replaced
With something else and it gapes (in me)
A whole inside where the thought of you used to lay
Where the thought of you used to lay
Now you’re

Heartless
How could you be, how do we be
Without heart?
In the darkness
I could not see, you built a wall
Between we
And there’s no getting in
Only severing the knot
Could it really be?
Did you finally
Make the cut?

Ohh all this cold
And I’ve grown to know this
Soulless mechanism

And I know all along
You were guarding your heart and
I am sorry
For making you become

Heartless
How could you be, how do we be
Without heart?
In the darkness
I could not see, you built a wall
Between we
And there’s no getting in
Only severing the knot
Could it really be?
Did you finally
Make the cut?

Heartless (how could I be?)
In the darkness (you built a wall)
And there’s no getting in
Only severing the knot
Could it really be?
Did you finally
Make the cut?
