Lyrics

Daggers Malone

Am
you walked in the party - i heard a heart breaking
it sounded like the sky exploding on the 4th of july
my blues were just waking - to a distant cry
and then I blindly fell into the daggers in your eyes
Am G Dm G
Daggers

You were contagious - i was contaminated
like the other boys and girls tangled up in your chain
you were my addiction - i needed to be needed
I sacrificed myself up on the daggers in your eyes

(half time)
Daggers- your blue daggers
Daggers- your blue daggers

G Am
Cut me down to size
Cut me down
Cut me down to size
cut me down INST VS

(BREAKDOWN)
it’s like an echo - question keeps repeating
why did I put myself up on the daggers in your eyes

Cut me down to size
Cut me down
Cut me down to size
cut me down














D Em
Cut me down with your lies
D C D
sometimes I have to learn the hard way

you cried and you begged me every time that i’d leave
and you’d tell me no one else would ever love me again
i stayed in the heartbreak but then i was so blind
then i was hanging by the daggers in your eyes
you walked in the party - i heard a heart break
gunpowder parade brigade firecracker or flare charade



You got me wishing - you got me
You got me questioning my right from my wrong
what is it about you - why do I let you crucify
I’d gladly die by the daggers in your eyes

Cut me down - down to size
Cut me down - with your eyes
Cut me down - down to size
Cut me down - with your eyes


your heart was a canyon - beautifully dangerous
D G
Cut me down with your eyes
D Em
Cut me down to your size
Cut me down to my knees
G D Am
Oh, I wish id never let you get the best of me
