The Blade Lyrics

I let your love in, I have the scar
I felt the razor against my heart
I thought we were both in all the way
But you caught it by the handle
And I caught it by the blade

You said "goodbye, it's not the end
And if you need me, I'm still your friend"
Well, that's easy for you to say
Cause you caught it by the handle
And I caught it by the blade

That's the risk you run when you love, when you love
And you give it all you've got to give
Knowing all along there's a chance, there's a chance
You'll reach and they won't
You'll bleed and they don't

For you, it's over; for me, it's not
I kept trying and you just stopped
Now I know how you can sound so brave
Cause you caught it by the handle, baby
And I caught it by the blade

That's the risk you run when you love, when you love
And you give it all you've got to give
Knowing all along there's a chance, there's a chance
You'll reach and they won't
You'll bleed and they don't

I thought we were both in all the way
But you caught it by the handle
And I caught it by the blade
You caught it by the handle, baby
And I caught it by the blade

What is the Meaning of The Blade?

Ashley Monroe's poignant lyrics explore the profound emotional pain of a one-sided breakup. The song metaphorically depicts love as a double-edged blade, where one partner (the singer) suffers more than the other. While the singer let love in and felt the searing pain ("caught it by the blade"), her partner managed to escape relatively unscathed ("caught it by the handle"). This stark contrast highlights the vulnerability inherent in deeply investing in a relationship. The risk of emotional injury is underscored by the realization that love’s end can be asymmetrical, affecting one person more grievously than the other. #Heartache #LoveandPain #BreakupGrief
