Twisting The Knife

I watch it trickle from your lips
Pearls of ruby red soaking up your head
Until you want to push through
Then the world turns red and the wine tastes sour
Pushing back the hand until the midnight hour

Every door is closing behind you
There's no one left to come and find you
You're soaking wet but the file won't dry you
I'd like to help you but I cant stand by

And watch you twisting the knife
They got you wasting your life
Can't stop you twisting the knife, oh yeah

I'd rather turn out all the lights than see you looking like this
Caress me with your anger, sting me with your kiss
You've been pushing too hard, I've been trying too long
Now, I don't believe I have the will to carry on

You take it one step forward then it's two steps back
I'd jump the wire but I'm feeling, feeling trapped
It's other people make you insecure
I won't surrender like I did before

And watch you twisting the knife
They got you wasting your life
Can't stop you twisting the knife

Surrender like I did before
Twisting, yeah, twisting the knife
They got you twisting the knife
Can't stop you, yeah, yeah, yeah

You sting me with your kiss

You take it one step forward
Then it's two steps back
I'd jump the wire but I'm feeling, feeling trapped
It's other people make you insecure
I won't surrender like I did before

And watch you twisting the knife
They got you wasting your life
Can't stop you twisting the knife

I won't surrender like I did before
Twisting, yeah, twisting the knife
They got you twisting the knife
Can't stop you twisting the knife

I won't surrender like I did before
Twisting, yeah, twisting the knife
They got you twisting the knife
Can't stop you, yeah, twisting the knife
I won't surrender like I did before
