"Cut Me Open" | Lyrics: Joe Perrino



So drive this stake into my chest,

The truth has caught you at your best,

I'll leave a mark inside your heart,

One that's been bleeding from the start,

I'll let go this time again,

Somethings are better left unsaid,

Our love was lost inside this crash,

With broken bones and broken glass.



I'll leave this key beneath my chest,

Cause I know it's safetly hidden, and the rest untold,

But when the truth unfolds, I know you'll cut me open,

Cut me open like it's your job.



And so you've placed the blame on me,

This fire's in the drivers seat,

"But Joe you'll never understand..."

This fire's getting out of hand

Forget the sleeve, I'll stitch my heart,

On every inch of your shirt.



I'll leave this key beneath my chest,

Cause I know it's safetly hidden, and the rest untold,

But when the truth unfolds, I know you'll cut me open,

Cut me open like it's your job.



Wear it like a bruise or blackeye, let them see the fire that's inside.
