Bettie Serveert - 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.

You took me in when I wasn’t too well
And then tried to spare me your personal Hell.
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.
