Bettie Serveert - The Rope lyrics

rate me

<b>The Rope</b> by <i>Bettie Serveert</i><br />You pulled the slipknot right out of my hands,

I can’t criticize what I don’t understand,

But I always thought you would fit me too well.

You’re hand in glove with my personal Hell.

And it was so easy to cut myself free,

I didn’t know then,

But you had been leaning on me.

Your logic defies every reason, I find.

I didn’t see it back then, but it was so close to mine.

You took me in when I wasn’t too well

And then tried to spare me your personal Hell.

I can’t deny what I know to be true.

Deep down inside of me,

Right from the start

It was you

Your logic defies every reason, I find,

I didn’t see it back then, but it was so close to mine.

You took me in when I wasn’t too well

You knew I’m scared, I know you can tell

So why would I mind if you’re leaning on me?

It’s the least I can do, for someone who’s

So dear to me.
