I watch it trickle from your lips
|
Pearls of ruby red soaking up your head until you want to push through
|
And then the world turns red
|
And the wine tastes sour
|
Pushing back the hand until the midnight hour
|
|
Every door is closing behind you
|
There's no one left to come and find you
|
You're soaking wet but the file won't dry you
|
I'd like to help but I cant stand by
|
|
And watch you twisting the knife
|
They've got you wasting your life
|
Can't stop you twisting the knife
|
|
Id rather turn out all the lights than see you like this
|
Caress me with your anger
|
Sting me with your kiss
|
You've been pushing too hard
|
I've been trying too long
|
Now I don't believe I have the will to carry on
|
You take it one step forward
|
Then it's two steps back
|
I'd jump the wire but I'm feeling trapped
|
Its other people make you insecure
|
I won't surrender like I did before
|
|
And watch you twisting the knife
|
They've got you wasting your life
|
Can't stop you twisting the knife
|
Surrender like I did before
|
Twisting the knife
|
|
Sting me with your kiss
|
You take it one step forward
|
Then it's two steps back
|
I'd jump the wire but I'm feeling trapped
|
Its other people make you insecure
|
I won't surrender like I did before
|
|
And watch you twisting the knife
|
They've got you wasting your life
|
Can't stop you twisting the knife
|
