Turn the knife the other way babe

You keep angling it towards me

We've been so good

At carefully hurting

But the pain keep simmering

I'll grind it up like cinnamon

It's the bones that you left

It's the love from our hearts to our heads

It's the way that it feels when you caught and released me instead

It's the light in your eyes

When you finally meant what you said

It's the bones that we left

And the weight off our shoulders when we met

Me and you babe were warm-blooded

Ain't no swordfish to be gutted

And I don't choose bitter

Oh I choose love yeah

There ain't no modern recipe

Will taste good for centuries

It's the bones that you left

It's the love from our hearts to our heads

It's the way that it feels when you caught and released me instead

It's the light in your eyes

When you finally meant what you said

It's the bones that we left

And the weight off our shoulders when we met

I love every condiment

You left on my kitchen shelf

And you don't ever have to apologize

For being yourself

Your cruelty wasn't only mean but it helped

We had to shake the grave up

And ring the bells

It's the bones that you left

It's the love from our hearts to our heads

It's the way that it feels when you caught and released me instead

It's the light in your eyes

When you finally meant what you said

It's the bones that you left

And the weight off our shoulders when we met

It's the blood it's the sweat

That we put in to making this wreck

It's the fear that I had if you leave me

You'll never come back

It's the road all alone

Will eventually have to trek

But I walk on my path

With the beat of your heart in my chest
