Like a Knife

  • I dream a lot, I know you say
    I've got to get away
    "The world is not yours for the taking"
    Is all you ever say
    I know I'm not the best for you,
    But promise that you'll stay
    'Cause if I watch you go,
    You'll see me wasting, you'll see me wasting away

    'Cause today, you walked out of my life
    'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
    I'm not living this life

    Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain
    And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same
    These streets are filled with memories
    Both perfect for detected pain
    And all I wanna do is love you
    But I'm the only one to blame

    'Cause today, you walked out of my life
    'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
    I'm not living this life

    But what do I know, if you're leaving
    All you did was stop the bleeding
    But these scars will stay forever,
    These scars will stay forever
    And these words have no meaning
    If we cannot find the feeling
    That we held on to together
    Try your hardest to remember

    Stay with me,
    Or watch me bleed,
    I need you just to breathe

    'Cause today, you walked out of my life
    (Stay with me, or watch me bleed)
    'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
    (I need you just to breathe)
    I'm not living this life Writer/s: JOHN VESELY
