**LYRICS**

I let your love in
I have the scar
I felt the razor
Against my heart

I thought we were both in all the way
But you caught it by the handle
And I caught it by the blade

You said goodbye
Is not the end
And if you need me
I'm still your friend

Well, that's easy for you to say
'Cause you caught it by the handle
And I caught it by the blade

That's the risk you run
When you love, when you love
And you give it all you got to give
Knowing all along
There's a chance, there's a chance
You'll reach and they won't
You'll bleed and they don't

For you it's over
For me it's not
I kept trying
And you just stopped

Now I know how you can sound so brave
'Cause you caught by the handle, baby
And I caught it by the blade

That's the risk you run
When you love, when you love
And you give it all you got to give
Knowing all along
There's a chance, there's a chance
You'll reach and they won't
You'll bleed and they don't

I thought we were both in all the way
But you caught it by the handle
And I caught it by the blade

You caught it by the handle, baby
And I caught it by the blade
