take my knife and cut hole
plunge it deep into my chest
cut a hole in the shape of a heart
you always knew how to hurt me best
pull back the blade and stab me through
just quickly gouge it out
make the pain as little as possible
you don't have to tell me what this is about
just take my heart and wring out the blood
let it overflow in your hands
i only request you do it carefully
that is, only if you can
no one wants a second-hand heart
so please don't give it away
for it was you, i gave to
no matter what i'll be okay
on second thought, i don't know anymore
is okay really all right?
i'll just say that so you don't feel guilty;
i'll only cry in the dead of night
as long as you're okay i can keep on living
so i'll never tell a soul
just keep pretending with a smile on my face
bearing this heart-shaped hole
leave it raw and open for all to see
this piercing pain i bear
hopefully they'll all just see it and be able to know
that it's all because i care
so let them see this curse of mine
or i can stand here perfectly still
while you cover it up with pieces of skin
right as the blood begins to fill
place it over and stitch it up
so that no one can ever see
i'll always remember it as a scar
from the heart-shaped hole you cut in me
