Knife

You cut me up

Into little pieces

And throw me into the ocean

For the fish to eat

You're tearing all of my branches down

And pile them in a bonfire

You turn the knife

Cut into an open wound

And throw the bandages

Locked inside an empty room

You pull me down

Over a mountainside

And fall into a web of hurt and lies

And I'm standing alone and bare

Oh I'm standing alone and bare

Oh I'm standing alone and bare

Oh I'm a cigarette that's burning softly

I'm standing alone and bare

Oh I'm standing alone and bare

Oh I'm standing alone and bare

Oh I'm a cigarette stubbed out

Knife

Slicing lovers out of me

You rat me out

Unraveling all the mystery

You chew me up

Spat out like some used up gum

Lost of its flavor, out of worth

You cross me out

Torn out like a diary

Erasing memories

You rewrite your history

You white me out

Wipe me out and over

For forcing out your heartache out of sight

And I'm standing alone and bare

Oh I'm standing alone and bare

Oh I'm standing alone and bare

Oh I'm a cigarette that's burning softly

I'm standing alone and bare

Oh I'm standing alone and bare

Oh I'm standing alone and bare

Oh I'm a cigarette

Oh I'm your cancer love

I'm your cancer love
