Daggers
She can’t find the words to let me down
She cannot explain the way she is
And I’ve seen it all before, though I’ve never cared this much
Still, I can try to make some sense out of the storm

She doesn’t know the power that she holds
She doesn’t know the kindness that she wears
She never felt the daggers that she throws
in all directions, so blindly, so carelessly

She knows not what she loves
She knows not what she’s capable of
And every time she hears her song
she can’t remember any other
but she cannot decide who she’s thinking of

I could never fit into her world
She could stand out anywhere she wants
And I know that it ain’t right, still it keeps me up all night
and sucks the wind out of my soul from time to time

 She doesn’t know the power that she holds
She doesn’t know the kindness that she wears
She never felt the daggers that she throws
in all directions, so blindly, so carelessly

She knows not what she loves
She knows not what she’s capable of
And every time she hears her song
she can’t remember any other
but she cannot decide who she’s thinking of
