Lyrics
0:42You twist the knife
0:46And I'll take the bullet
0:50You start the fire
0:53And the world then turns for you
0:58Isn't it right
1:02Isn't it a crime
1:06Isn't it cruel to be so kind
1:15But it's all an act of love and it leaves you blind
1:24And I'm not here to reason or deny
1:33I buried you in a poverty of time
1:41Sometimes there's no other way
1:45You said the things you need to say
1:49At the greatest price
1:53Over a meaningless fight
1:57Didn't it used to be so fine
2:06Sometimes you need the dark to see the light
2:15You roll the dice
2:19And I play the fool
2:23You turn the tide
2:27But the soul steps through your eyes
2:31Isn't it right
2:35Or is it just lies
2:40Isn't it cruel to be so kind
2:48But some temptations promise you paradise
2:57And I'm not here to listen or confide
3:05And I've paid my debt to a world that bleeds you dry
3:14Sometimes there's no other way
3:18You said the things you need to say
3:22At the greatest price
3:25Over a meaningless fight
3:29Didn't it used to feel so right
3:39Sometimes you need the dark to see the light
You twist the knife And I'll take the bullet You start the fire And the world then turns for you Isn't it right Isn't it a crime Isn't it cruel to be so kind But it's all an act of love and it leaves you blind And I'm not here to reason or deny I buried you in a poverty of time Sometimes there's no other way You said the things you need to say At the greatest price Over a meaningless fight Didn't it used to be so fine Sometimes you need the dark to see the light You roll the dice And I play the fool You turn the tide But the soul steps through your eyes Isn't it right Or is it just lies Isn't it cruel to be so kind But some temptations promise you paradise And I'm not here to listen or confide And I've paid my debt to a world that bleeds you dry Sometimes there's no other way You said the things you need to say At the greatest price Over a meaningless fight Didn't it used to feel so right Sometimes you need the dark to see the light
