Or just a whole lot older
Givin myself to you

You keep cuttin me open why
Is that the only thing that your good for
Givin myself to you

You keep cuttin me open why
Is that the only thing that your good for

How we started this thing
But I know I was better
Before you pulled the strings
Something to mention
Before you kill me so
I wont be the last one
The last one thats for sure
oh whoaaa, oh whoaaa (2x)
When I get over you,
And get the dirt off my shoulder
Will I look like a fool,
Or just a while lot older
Givin myself to you
is like givin myself to a chainsaw
You keep cuttin me open why
Is that the only thing that your good for
Givin myself to you
is like givin myself to a chainsaw
You keep cuttin me open why
Is that the only thing that your good for
What you gonna do when you've had enough
What u gonna say when it's all to late
What you gonna do when you fall in love
How you gonna feel when it hurts the same
What you gonna do when you've had enough
What u gonna say when it's all to late
Staring at the things that you broke apart
And you know you cant put 'em back again
Givin myself to you

You keep cuttin me open why
Is that the only thing that your good for
Givin myself to you

You keep cuttin me open why
Is that the only thing that your good for yeah yeaah
Givin myself to you
is like givin myself to a chainsaw
(repeat)
Givin myself to you!
