Knife Turns

(mmm-hmm) Yeah,

look

I got the receipts,

matching up the calendar and dates Checking every message,

realizing it was all fake You were sleeping peaceful while I was

drowning in the stress Plotting on my downfall,

leaving my life a total mess You looked me in my eyes,

gave your word, and shook my hand

While you were digging ditches where we used to try and stand

Now I’m pacing in the dark,

replaying every single word Every promise that you gave me is completely

quite absurd Traded my loyalty for a quick,

cheap thrill Left me in the cold,

holding on a heavy bill And the crazy part about it?

I defended your name When they told me you were dirty,

I said they were playing games

Now the knife is turning

and the room is spinning cold

Choking on the fairytales that you easily sold I’m making new memories

day by day Washing the taste of your permanent lies away Yeah,

year by year, the scar is gonna fade But I’ll never forget

the wreckage that you made

It’s a different kind of bleeding when it’s done by someone close

The ones you love the deepest always hurt you the most

Yeah, you thought you were clever,

thought your footprints were erased But a lie can run a mile

till the truth demands a chase Now I’m scrubbing out your picture,

deleting every thread Trying to block the intrusive thoughts stuck inside my

head Did you laugh behind my back?

Did you think that I was blind?

Or did you just mistake the kindness in my peace of mind?

You broke my trust,

yeah, but you broke my view of what is real Paralyzed my

senses, now I don't know what to feel

I used to have your back against the wall,

against the crowd Now I wouldn't shout your name if the room

was screaming loud

Questioning the good days,

questioning the starts Wondering if you were always acting out these double

parts Was anything even real,

or was it just a masquerade?

Sitting in the shadow of the trap that you laid But see,

the funny thing about betrayal when it hits the floor

It teaches you exactly who to lock outside the door You didn't

break me,

you just woke me up from the sleep And now I'm playing

for keeps (ooh-yeah)

Now the knife is turning and the room is spinning cold

Choking on the fairytales that you easily sold I’m making new memories

day by day Washing the taste of your permanent lies away

Yeah, year by year,

the scar is gonna fade But I’ll never forget the wreckage that

you made

It’s a different kind of bleeding when it’s done by someone close

The ones you love the deepest always hurt you the most (hurt

you the most)

Day by day...

I’m building up the wall.

Year by year...

I won't even recall.

You were just a lesson,

yeah, a bridge I had to burn.

Now it's my turn.

Yeah. (ahhhh)
