There’s a man walking down the street

In his hand I see the blade of a knife

His coat turned up against the rain and the wind

His hat dipped to hide his face in the night

But when I close my eyes

The man disappears

And all I’d see is your face

And feel the heat of tears

So I said man

Just cut out my heart

Rip it out

Cut it out of its cage

And if you use the blunt side of the blade

It’ll make it hurt more

And ease my pain

Well that man walking down the street

He stopped dead and stared at me

I stood still and waited for him

His eyes were wild but mindlessly

I close my eyes

And the man disappears

And all I’d feel is the pain

And hear the fear as I

Screamed out your name

So I said man

Just cut out my heart

Rip it out

Cut it out of its cage

And if you use the blunt side of the blade

It’ll make it hurt more

And ease my pain

You know it’ll ease my pain

Ohhhhhh

You know it’ll ease my pain
