Lyrics
The Knife
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.
Say you’re blind, been spinning for hours
You climb in bed, I’ll jump in the shower
Feel alone in the cave of your covers
While the knife pushes deeper, I’m reminded we’re lovers
Take what you need from me, babe
Take all that I’ve got
To tell you the truth, I’m afraid
It won’t be enough
It’s five pills today, five more tomorrow
The damn side-effects are too hard to swallow
I hate to see you this way, but don’t feel ashamed
It’s by your own body you’ve been betrayed
Take what you need from me, babe
Take all that I’ve got
To tell you the truth, I’m afraid
It won’t be enough
Take what you need from me, babe
Take all that I’ve got
To tell you the truth, I’m afraid
It won’t be enough
