Cut is sung from the point of view of someone who still loves someone that once loved him and doesn’t anymore. It pains him to see her because it isn’t the same anymore
[Verse 1]
If only you'd never speak to me
The way that you do
If only you'd never speak like that
It's like listening to
A breaking heart, falling sky
Fire go out and friendship die
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do
[Verse 2]
If only you'd never look at me
The way that you do
If only you'd never look like that
When I look at you
I see face like stone, eyes of ice
Mouth so sweetly telling lies
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do
[Chorus]
But you don't
You don't feel anymore
You don't care anymore
It's all gone, it's all gone, it's all gone
[Verse 3]
If only you'd never pull from me
The way that you do
If only you'd never pull like that
When I'm with you
I feel hopeless hands helplessly
Pulling you back close to me
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do
[Chorus]
But you don't
You don't feel anymore
You don't care anymore
It's all gone, it's all gone, it's all gone
[Bridge]
If only you'd ever speak to me
The way you once did
Look at me the way you once did
Pull to me the way you once did
[Chorus]
But you don't
You don't feel anymore
You don't care anymore
It's all gone, it's all...
