Black Dagger

Oh Black Dagger in my heart,
that which cuts so deep.

Go back to where you once were from,
do not return to me.

Oh Black Dagger in my heart,
that which cuts so deep.

The wounds you've caused shall never heal,
the pain of this loss is too much for me.

Oh Black Dagger in my heart,
that which cuts so deep.

You let me walk away from you,
you should not have let me leave.

Oh Black Dagger in my heart,
that which cuts so deep.

In that moment you stabbed my heart,
I fell upon my knees.

Oh Black Dagger in my heart,
that which cuts so deep.

I lay there in my own life blood,
thinking of what could have been.

Oh Black Dagger in my heart,
that which cuts so deep.

The world is such a bitter place,
to deal out such a fate

Oh Black Dagger in my heart,
that which cuts so deep.

So tell me Black Dagger,
what would you have done differently?

Oh Black Dagger in my heart,
that which cuts so deep.

It grows dark but there is time,
please Black Dagger just tell me once.

Oh Black Dagger in my heart,
that which cuts so deep.

Why did this happen?
Why should my heart die?

Oh Black Dagger in my heart,
that which cuts so deep.

I'll say it for you Black Dagger,
I'll save you from the pain.

Oh Black Dagger in my heart,
that which cuts so deep.

I love you fully Black Dagger,
though you bring only the end.

Oh Black Dagger in my heart,
that which cuts so deep.

What an end it would be Black Dagger,
to die in your loving embrace.

Oh Black Dagger in my heart,
that which cuts so deep.

If only that were the way,
if only it could be.

Oh Black Dagger in my heart,
that which cuts so deep.

So as I lay in my own life blood,
the puddle growing thicker.

Oh Black Dagger in my heart,
that which cuts so deep.

I wished that I could have stayed,
and lived my life with you.

Oh Black Dagger in my heart,
that which cuts so deep.

I love you Black Dagger,
but now it is too late.

Oh Black Dagger you're in my heart,
a love that is so deep.
