The Rope Lyrics

The Rope lyrics

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

But you took me in when I wasn't too well

And then tried to spare me your personal hell



And 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

To me
