"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
But you took me in when I wasn't too well
And then tried to spare me your personal hell

And 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
To me
