Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Please don't make me cry
There's darkness in your eyes
The saddest boy I've ever seen
Oh, it's such a shame
All you know is pain
Who hurt you at seventeen?
[PreChorus]
You wanna love me still
But you know it'd kill me if you tried
[Chorus]
Whenever you touch me
You cut me to pieces
You carve with your kisses
Like switchblades, I'm bleeding
I can't even blame you
It's just how God made you
You're not a monster, just a broken man
Edward Scissorhands
[Verse 2]
Please don't hold me tight
You're sharper than a knife
I know you need me desperately
And, oh, it breaks my heart
To leave you with your scars
Fixing you would just break me
[PreChorus]
You wanna love me still
But you know it'd kill me if you tried
[Chorus]
Whenever you touch me
You cut me to pieces
You carve with your kisses
Like switchblades, I'm bleeding
I can't even blame you
It's just how God made you
You're not a monster, just a broken man
Edward Scissorhands
[Bridge]
Hold me, you can't
Hold me, you can't
Hold me (Ah-ah-ah)
Hold me, you can't
Hold me, you can't
Hold me (Ah-ah-ah)
[Chorus]
Whenever you touch me
You cut me to pieces
You carve with your kisses
Like switchblades, I'm bleeding
I can't even blame you
It's just how God made you
You're not a monster, just a broken man
Edward Scissorhands
