[Verse 1]
Every day, it’s a little more gone
Same old room, same old wrong
You point at cracks like I drew them there
I bite my tongue just to breathe that air
No hand to hold, just a cold hard list
Every “fix this” feels like another twist
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep on looking for a reason to stay
You keep on making me fade away
I’m tired of trying to read your mind
Tired of turning hurt into “I’m fine”
[Chorus]
Knife smile, knife smile
You make it look so fine (knife smile)
Knife smile, knife smile
You twist, then call it mine
I don’t know anymore
I don’t know anymore
Knife smile, knife smile
I can’t do this anymore
[Verse 2]
You see the worst when I walk in the door
Count every fault like a score on the floor
I come with hope, you come with a blade
Sharp little words in the mess you made
I tried to love through the damage and rain
Tried to say less so you’d say my name
[Pre-Chorus]
But every answer lands like a hit
Every silence says I’m sick of it
I’m staring down what I won’t deny
This thing is breaking in real time
[Chorus]
Knife smile, knife smile
You make it look so fine (knife smile)
Knife smile, knife smile
You twist, then call it mine
I don’t know anymore
I don’t know anymore
Knife smile, knife smile
I can’t do this anymore
[Bridge]
I had a dark night, I had a bad thought
Said I was done, but I’m still here, not lost
No more begging for a softer tone
No more bleeding just to keep this home
If I have to leave, then I’ll leave clean
Out of your grip and back to me
[Chorus]
Knife smile, knife smile
You make it look so fine (knife smile)
Knife smile, knife smile
You twist, then call it mine
I don’t know anymore
I don’t know anymore
Knife smile, knife smile
I can’t do this anymore
