Knife Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You touched my life
With the softness in the night
My wish was your command
Until you ran out of love
Tell myself I'm free
Got the chance of living just for me
No need to hurry home
Now that you're gone

[Chorus]
Knife, cuts like a knife
How will I ever heal?
I'm so deeply wounded
Knife, cuts like a knife
You cut away the heart of my life

[Verse 2]
When I pretend wear a smile
To fool my dearest friends
I wonder if they know
It's just a show
I'm on a stage
Day and night
I go through my charades
But, how can I disguise what's in my eyes?
[Chorus]
Knife, cuts like a knife
How will I ever heal?
I'm so deeply wounded
Knife, cuts like a knife
You cut away the heart of my life

[Bridge]
Baby, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh

[Verse 3]
I've tried and tried
Blocking out the pain I feel inside
The pain of wanting you
Wanting you

[Chorus]
Knife, cuts like a knife
How will I ever heal?
I'm so deeply wounded
Knife, cuts like a knife
How will I ever heal?
I'm so deeply wounded
[Outro]
You cut away the heart of my life

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
