lyrics

HER NAME IS A KNIFE (R. Harcourt)

Her name is a knife, shiny and new
Stab me in the back pushing all the way through
Every moment we shared, every look in your eyes
Slice it up and throw it in a hang town fry

Her name is a fist, a blow to the head
Picking up my ego and I’m coughing up red
Our love divine, our beautiful bed
Laying in the gutter with the words you said

Do you know how it feels? Well I don’t think that you do.
Confusing living in the moment and running from the truth
Don’t you ever miss us? Don’t you ever cry?
Or are you way too busy chasing her every night?

Her name is a freight train mowing me down
Taking all our love and dragging it around
I got stuck underneath, taken for a ride
I didn’t see it coming, what a fool am I

Her name is a knife, shiny and new
Stab me in the back pushing all the way through
Every moment we shared, every look in your eyes
Slice it up and throw it in a hang town fry

BRIDGE
I still about think about you
I want to be with you now
I can’t live without you, I can’t live without you

You say that you love me, but your words don’t align
With the choices you make and the ways that you lie
Don’t you ever miss us? Don’t you ever cry?
Or are you way too busy loving her every night?

Her name is a knife, her name is a knife, her name is a knife…
