Lyrics

Do your worst to my heart
Let's see just how long you can last

I'll still be here When you're done
Because I've seen the you beneath the mask

Do your worst to my heart
Pull it still beating from my chest
To have you, the real you
I will smile taking the rest

Here's the dagger
Here's the dagger
Filet me to the bone
Here's the dagger
Here's the dagger
Let me know when you are done

Do your worst to my heart
I've laid down my sword and my shield

You wanna push me away
but, I know just how perfect this love will feel

Do your worst to my heart
Anything that you might want to try
Cut me, Stab me, skin me, stone me
I'll be waiting for you on the other side

Here's the dagger
Here's the dagger
Filet me to the bone
Here's the dagger
Here's the dagger
Let me know when you are done

If you need to do it
I'll be your victim
If you need to do it
I'll be your victim
But I'll never give up I'll never quit
So go ahead get it out of your system

CHORUS
