"You Can"

 

You can take away my pain,

You can take away my sorrow,

You can take away this hurt,

You can take away my emotions.

For the victim you can be great,

For the victim you can be mean,

For the victim you can cause pain

For the victim you can take a life away.

In one move, you can take me,

In one move, you can make me suffer,

In one move, you can make my life worse,

In one move, you can cause great suffering.

The blood runs thick from your wound,

The wound goes inside of me deeply,

I can die from the shock you cause me,

You can leave your traces with me forever.

This horrible feeling, this horrible wound,

This horrible pain, this feeling of peace,

All these feelings are caused because of you,

Because you are the blade on the knife that cuts me.
