The Sharp End

You wouldn't say I was the last to know But you couldn't take the weight It's hard to shake It's so apropos Of your past mistakes and our fate It's the right time now To be giving you something As we walk by the wayside at night We haven't lost time now You've given me such strength For the sharp end of the knife You finally figured it out It was a waste of breath You walked away from it in time In a daze of the breadth Another last time What are you waiting for Assuring I'm fine I couldn't ask for more Disguising the answers When will you just stop And save all of them You've done this before and you'll do it again Spilling ink might change the outcome So you think You finally figured me out It was a waste of breath You walked away from me in time In a daze of the breadth Another last time What were you waiting for Assuring I'm fine I couldn't have asked for more You wouldn't say I was the last to know You couldn't take the weight Disguising the answers When will you just stop And save all of them You've done this before and you'll do it again Cleaning slates might change the outcome Or it's fate You walked out on yourself tonight You walked until you couldn't see the light You walked out on yourself tonight You walked until you couldn't see The right time I Should have given you something Now alone in the darkness i write Where has all our time gone You've given me such strength For the sharp end of the knife
