I said that our love was gone
we lost it long ago
You said don't give up yet
because I love you so
I told you it was over
we're only living a lie
You told me not to say that
and you're still willing to try
I asked you to leave
I don't love you anymore
You called me liar
but still walked out the door
I cried myself to sleep
woke up and cried again
I'm not in love with you
but I'll love you till the end
You went home and drank your beer
then yelled and hit the wall
You got more drunk by the second
and staggered down the hall
I knew I'd done the right thing
you caused me so much pain
the fights and your drinking
were driving me insane
You went to your room, and got your knife
then headed over to my house
up my street and through my window
quiet as a mouse
I wondered if you'd be okay
then turned and saw you there
You held your knife inches from me
all I could do was stare
I pleaded with you, said this was stupid
you were drunk and I could tell
You laughed and then lunged forward
the knife went in and I just fell
You pulled your knife from my chest
got scared and ran away
I didn't scream, it hurt so bad
but still I knew I'd be okay
I crawled to the sink and cleaned it up
it wasn't as bad as it looked or felt
it only went in an inch or two
but it bled a lot and hurt like hell
You actually tried to kill me
it didn't matter that you weren't sober
You failed, but if you didn't
my life would now be over
In more ways than one
there will always be a scar
although your knife was too far to the right
You didn't really miss my heart
