Don’t Sever the Ties

[Intro]
Put down the knife
Don’t sever the ties
Just yet
Put down the knife
We can make it right
I promise

[Verse 1]
Can’t tell you where it all went wrong
But it’s been going on far too long
I’m not about to lose you
No, I won’t let you go
Don’t know what’s going on inside your head
But we’ll figure it out before we go to bed
There’s no place left for it to hide
Now we see each other’s side
And can start to make things right
I’m not gonna let you off that easy

[Chorus]
Put down the knife
Don’t sever the ties
Just yet
Put down the knife
We can make it right
I promise

[Verse 2]
Can’t let you walk right out my door
Let’s talk about it some more
Not about to give up on you
No, I won’t let you go
We need to get everything out
So we can see what it’s all about
I don’t care if morning comes
And we find we’re not done
I’m not gonna let you leave me

[Chorus]
Put down the knife
Don’t sever the ties
Just yet
Put down the knife
We can make it right
I promise

[Verse 3]
Even if it takes all day
And we run out of things to say
I'm not about to say goodbye to you
No, I won’t let you go
We need to figure this one out
You can put up a fight all you want
I don’t care if you yell real loud
It’s not your words I fear
Can’t let you walk on out of here
Won’t let you hurt yourself
Or worse yet, someone else

[Chorus]
Put down the knife
Don’t sever the ties
Just yet
Put down the knife
We can make it right
I promise

[Verse 4]
I’m listening
I want to understand
I’m trying
Please let me in
Put down the knife
Don’t sever the ties
Just yet
Put down the knife
We can make it right
I promise
‘Cause the feelings you hide cut deeper than any knife
That you could ever drive in to my side
