Lyrics

The Knife In My Back

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm slowly learning

That the things you promised me

Are burning like the embers

Of a thousand willow trees, and

Every single secret

Has been broadcast like TV

Now all the threads are severed

That were tying you to me

I thought we

Were friends, but now we're

Enemies

I thought we

Were friends, but now we're

Enemies

Pull your knife out of my back

Your blood runs black

I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast

I let you in

I held you close

My blood flows like a river 'cause I trusted you the most

And now I know it's over (woo-oooo)

And now I know it's over (woo-oooo)

And now I know it's over (woo-oooo)

And now I know it's over (woo-oooo)

I was so naive I even let you in my home

Took you out for dinner and let you wear my clothes

I can't even breathe; I have your scent still in my nose

It's like I almost miss you; I should have known

I thought we

Were friends, but now we're

Enemies

I thought we

Were friends, but now we're

Enemies

Pull your knife out of my back

Your blood runs black

I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast

I let you in

I held you close

My blood flows like a river 'cause I trusted you the most

And now I know it's over (woo-oooo)

And now I know it's over (woo-oooo)

And now I know it's over (woo-oooo)

And now I know it's over (woo-oooo)

I thought we

Were friends, but now we're

Enemies

I thought we

Were friends, but now we're

Enemies

Pull your knife out of my back

Your blood runs black

I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast

I let you in

I held you close

My blood flows like a river 'cause I trusted you the most

And now I know it's over (woo-oooo)

And now I know it's over (woo-oooo)

And now I know it's over (woo-oooo)

And now I know it's over (woo-oooo)
