Slow Blade

[Chorus]
[Chorus]
But lately your fingers leave a trace
Razors and knives, they take their place
Your affection fades, affliction aches
Like a slow blade on me

[Verse 1]
Tears on my sleeve
I cry on Malaga Beach
I've never seen anybody do that before
The wasted years I count on toes on my feet
In the footprints that same shape my mother wore

[Verse 2]
London Town was haunted inside-out
So we flew here for change of scene
(You look right through me, through me)
I thought aloud
Would you notice if I drowned?
You said, "Don't you appreciate the beautiful heat?
No, this ain't to place to grieve"

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I know the bitter truth
I'm really loosing you
I love you so bad, I'd wait
I meant it when I said it's always

[Chorus]
But lately your fingers leave a trace
Razors and knives, they take their place
Your affection fades, affliction aches
Like a slow blade on me
And I can't walk away
Now I know how the blood will taste
Your affection fades, affliction aches
Like a slow blade on me

[Verse 3]
My darkest fear buried here
Under sands of Malaga Pier
Good intentions, interventions shipwrecked
I still don't know
How to mourn us, where to go
Maybe here I'll bring the flowers when we're dead
(Oh baby, not yet)

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I know the bitter truth
I'm really loosing you
I loved you so bad, I'd wait
I meant it when I said it's always

[Chorus]
But lately your fingers leave a trace
Razors and knives, they take their place
Your affection fades, affliction aches
Like a slow blade on me
And I can't walk away
Now I know how the blood will taste
Your affection fades, affliction aches
Like a slow blade on me

[Outro]
Baby I'm swimming out
Call me back, where are you now?
I don't know where your new address is, oh
Did you get my message? Oh
Your affection fades, affliction aches
Like a slow blade on me
It's like a slow blade on me
