Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It cuts both ways
Our love is like a knife that cuts both ways
It's driven deep into my heart each time
That I realize how it cuts both ways
Can't be together
Cannot live apart
We're heading straight into a broken heart
But I can't stop
[Chorus]
'Cause I feel too much to let you go
I'm hurting you and it's hard, I know
To stay and fight for what we got
Knowing it'll never be good enough
'Cause you and I are dangerous
We want too much and life ain't that way
Don't ask for more
You'd be a fool
Haven't we already broken every rule?
[Verse 2]
It cuts both ways
We're in too deep for sorry alibis
Can't have regrets or even question why
We can't say goodbye
Because it cuts both ways
No more illusions of the love we make
No sacrifice would ever be too great
If you would just stay
[Chorus]
'Cause I feel too much to let you go
I'm hurting you and it's hard, I know
To stay and fight for what we've got
Knowing it'll never be good enough
'Cause you and I are dangerous
We want too much and life ain't that way
Don't ask for more
Don't be a fool
Haven't we already broken every rule?
[Verse 3]
Cuts both ways
Our love is like a knife that cuts both ways
It's driven deep into my heart each time
I see we're living the lie
And it cuts both ways
[Outro]
It cuts both ways, mmm-hmm
Cuts both ways
It cuts both ways
