When the knife's that sharp 

When the arrow's aimed right for your heart

I'm jaded enough to keep up my defenses 

I never thought this could happen to me 

I'm a cynical girl, 

Seeing life through lenses so I don't get hurt again

No one's had the power, held the key to open up that door 

Then slam it in a blink, in a fatal twist 

Turned inside out I live with this 

Day in, day out 

I must begin again

I know, I know, I know. 

Someone tell my heart that bleeds on and on 

How could I ever take a lover into my trembling arms 

Oh
