Lyrics of Severing the Knot by Emily Afton
verse
Who taught you to be unkind?
Who showed you this trick of the mind?
You turned me off like I was a light (switch)
Pulled the plug on us, leaving my love blind, my love blind
pre-chorus
Nothing to look for (nothing to look for)
What can I?
What can I look for? (What can I look for?)
Now you're-
chorus
Heartless, how could you be, how do we be without heart?
In the darkness, I could not see, you built a wall between we
And there's no getting in, only severing the knot
Could it really be? Did you finally make, make the cut?
verse
I can't stop seeing your face
Underground circuit of wires has been replaced
With something else and it gapes (in me)
A whole inside where the thought of you used to lay, used to lay
pre-chorus
Where the thought of you used to lay, used to lay
Where the thought of you used to lay, now you're-
chorus
Heartless, how could you be, how do we be without heart?
In the darkness, I could not see, you built a wall between we
And there's no getting in, only severing the knot
Could it really be? Did you finally make, make the cut?
bridge
Ooh, all this cold, and I've grown to know this
Soulless mechanism
And I know all along you were guarding your heart, babe
I am sorry for making you become-
chorus
Heartless, how could you be, how do we be without heart?
In the darkness, I could not see, you built a wall between we
And there's no getting in, only severing the knot
Could it really be? Did you finally make, make the cut?
chorus
Heartless, how could you be, how do we be without heart?
In the darkness, I could not see, you built a wall between we
And there's no getting in, only severing the knot
Could it really be? Did you finally make, make the cut?
