I wish that every memory would fade away in front of me
I wish that I could look at you and not feel like the enemy
How quickly love turns into war
Something that I found worth fighting for

I guess I just don't understand
Why you keep falling out of love
I thought forever was the plan
I guess for you it never was

Will you carry this dagger with you when you leave
Let it be sharp enough to cut the memories
I can't bear to think it through, can't bear the thought of losing you
Will you carry this dagger with you when you leave

I feel like such a prisoner I'm trapped inside my head
Replaying all the things I wish I never would have said
How quickly love turns into war
I guess it wasn't quite worth fighting for

Will you carry this dagger with you when you leave
Let it be sharp enough to cut the memories
I can't bear to think it through, can't bear the thought of losing you
Will you carry this dagger with you when you leave

If you're leaving then just leave, don't forget the memories
You can wrap them round your finger where I damn near put a ring
If you're going then just go, no need to make it slow
Then I'll convince myself that I was always better off alone

Will you carry this dagger with you when you leave
Let it be sharp enough to cut the memories
I can't bear to think it through, can't do this life apart from you
Will you carry this dagger with you when you leave
