[Verse 1]
You touched my ribs like glass
I bled through the black
Said love was a wound
Now I can't take it back
Your kiss was a blade
Wrapped in silk and ash
I wore it like a prayer
Then it cut me fast
[Pre-Chorus]
I taste your name
Like rust on my tongue
I keep reaching out
But the damage is done
[Chorus]
Love me like a knife
Love me like a lie
Pull me close and watch me burn
I still come alive
Love me like a knife
Love me till I break
If this is how we die
Then let the whole world shake
[Verse 2]
Your shadow sleeps in my lungs
It claws when I breathe
I count every scar
Like a rosary for thieves
The mirror learned my hate
The sink learned my blood
I built you a home
Out of dirt and love
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear your voice
In the crack of the wall
Sweet as a grave
That keeps calling me back
[Chorus]
Love me like a knife
Love me like a lie
Pull me close and watch me burn
I still come alive
Love me like a knife
Love me till I break
If this is how we die
Then let the whole world shake
[Bridge]
[Kicked into half-time]
Say my name
Like you mean the ruin
Say my name
While the floor falls through me
I loved you hard
I loved you wrong
Now the pain sings
And the pain is strong
[Breakdown]
Hold me down
(hold me down)
Spit your holy fire
(spit your holy fire)
I am the scar
(I am the scar)
You are the wire
(you are the wire)
[Final Chorus]
Love me like a knife
Love me like a lie
Pull me close and watch me burn
I still come alive
Love me like a knife
Love me till I break
If this is how we die
Then let the whole world shake
Love me like a knife
Love me like a knife
I still come alive
I still come alive
