Bm                                 D
I feel your knife as is goes right in
Cut to my core but I'm not bleeding
All that you say tryin' to make me small
Well the bigger you get the harder you fall

Chorus:
G                               Bm
You use your words as a weapon dear
G                                            Bm
But your blades don't hurt when you have no fear
G                                  Bm
You think that your deep under my skin
                            G
Your tryin to keep me sufferin
                                 Bm
If you use your words as a weapon
                                 D
Then as a weapon, I'll shed no tears

You have my heart but I lock it up
This burning flame has been burnt enough
My windows cracked, they can be replaced
But your arm will tire throwing stones my way

Chorus

I feel your knife as it goes right in

Chorus

I'll shed no tears
I'll shed no tears
