Lyrics She - Over the Rhine

She

What she would like to do
Is get you out of her head
She’s tried every trick
She’s so sick of thinking about it
What’s so special about you
You’re an ache she’s learned to crave
You’re a blade too dull to raise
But she cuts herself
On you every night
She’s just dying
To lay down the knife
What she would love to do
Is get you out of her bed
She’s played it over and over and over
In her head
But she cuts herself
On you every night
She’s just dying
To lay down the knife
She clings to what’s familiar
She thinks a change would kill her
What she ought to do
Is put a gun to your head
For all the things you said and did
But what she will not do
Is let you go before you’re gone
It’s everything that’s ever been wrong
But it’s all she’s ever known
So she cuts herself on you every night
She’s just dyin' to lay down her life
