Stay, won't beg you to stay
Go, yeah I'll be ok
Won't kill me this way, oh oh
At least that's what I'll say

No, you don't have to know
The wounds that hurt me the most
'Cos I'll never show, oh oh
Just how deep they go

That's why I'm telling you
Everytime you have to go
I don't think you even know
It's like a dagger in my heart
Everytime you have to leave
Can't believe it cuts so deep
It's like a dagger in my heart
Dagger dagger oh, dagger dagger oh, dagger dagger
It's like a dagger in my heart
Dagger dagger oh, dagger dagger oh, dagger dagger
It's like a dagger in my heart

Strong, I thought I was strong
These scars will heal before long
I guess I was wrong, oh oh
And I'm too far gone

Try, I know I should try
To just get on with my life
But it's slipping away tonight
There's some loves you can't survive, oh

That's why I'm telling you
Everytime you have to go
I don't think you even know
It's like a dagger in my heart
Everytime you have to leave
Can't believe it cuts so deep
It's like a dagger in my heart
Dagger dagger oh, dagger dagger oh, dagger dagger
It's like a dagger in my heart
Dagger dagger oh, dagger dagger oh, dagger dagger
It's like a dagger in my heart

The last words I would say
Is there ain't anyone else
Can take this pain away

That's why I'm telling you
Everytime you have to go
I don't think you even know
It's like a dagger in my heart
Everytime you have to leave
Can't believe it cuts so deep
It's like a dagger in my heart
Dagger dagger oh, dagger dagger oh, dagger dagger
It's like a dagger in my heart
Dagger dagger oh, dagger dagger oh, dagger dagger
It's like a dagger in my heart

Everytime you have to go
I don't think you even know
It's like a dagger in my heart
And everytime you have to leave
Can't believe it cuts so deep
It's like a dagger in my heart
