Chisel

Why does it have to be this way?

Holding on through all this pain

Do I need to break and fall

Just to feel your love at all?

I can't move, I can't resist

Yet you carve love out of this

Never knowing what it takes

Every cut just leaves a trace

You chip, you scrape, line after line

I can't take this pain in time 'cause you

Chisel, you chisel, carving me raw

Shape me, mold me, break me apart

Like a tool with a ruthless touch

Like a blade so cruel and rough

Breaking me, it's not enough

Peeling layers, tearing apart

Cutting deep to form your heart

Scraping, tearing every layer

Till you get what you desire

But when the carving doesn't fit

You just leave and call it quits

I know I'm tough, I know I fight

But you could shape me without might

You can shape me, just take it slow

With gentle hands, I'll start to show

With patience, I could shine

I could be what you design

Chisel, you chisel, carving me raw

Shape me, mold me, break me apart

Like a tool with a ruthless touch

Like a blade so cruel and rough

Breaking me, it's not enough

Peeling layers, tearing apart

Cutting deep to form your heart

Scraping, tearing every layer

Till you get what you desire

But when the carving doesn't fit

You just leave and call it quits

Chisel, you chisel (carving me raw)

Chisel, you chisel

Chisel, you chisel (carving me raw)

Chisel, you chisel

Chisel

You chisel
