tenderly tenderly please take my breath from me into the fountain and up from the graves tearfully joyfully burn what is left of me i don t want these burdens that handsomely weigh you ll be my guest and i ll let you stay leave me the check i ll pay with the rest of my life twist the knife carefully quietly you took what s young from me didn t deserve it i gave it away cowardly thoughtlessly you walk away from me and i ll tear my heart out to save you the day you ll be my guest and i ll let you stay leave me the check i ll pay with the rest of my life twist the knife tenderly tenderly please take my breath from me into the fountain and up from the graves
