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, it's 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've 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 it 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've 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
