Twist the Knife

You swore you’d never run, I swore you’d stay,
Now I wake in the dark where you used to lay.
Every shadow wears your face at night,
And every heartbeat screams—twist the knife.

The air still tastes of your perfume,
Every dream drags me back to that room.
I’m tired of begging ghosts to cry,
But I can’t kill the voice that says—twist the knife.

You were my truth, the sin I can’t forgive,
The flame that burned the will I had to live.
You turned our love into a sharpened lie,
And left me here to whisper—twist the knife!!!

I gave you the truth, you gave me countless lies,
Now I bleed your name when I close my eyes.
You burned my faith just to feel alive,
And I’m the ashes whispering—twist the knife.

Our friends all say, “Man, let her go,”
But they don’t know what I don’t show.
It’s in my chest like broken glass,
You took my future, left my past—twist the knife.

You were my truth, the sin I can’t forgive,
The flame that burned the will I had to live.
You turned our love into a sharpened lie,
And left me here to whisper—twist the knife!!!

I’d rather you hate me than walk away,
At least the pain would have something to say.
You took my heart and turned out the light,
And left me here to drown—twist the knife.

Don’t tell me time will make this fade,
It’s carved too deep, it’s what you made.
I’m half a man, half memory’s bite,
Still reaching through the dark—twist the knife.

You were my truth, the sin I can’t forgive,
The flame that burned the will I had to live.
You turned our love into a sharpened lie,
And left me here to whisper—twist the knife!!!
You were my truth, the sin I can’t forgive,
The flame that burned the will I had to live.
You turned our love into a sharpened lie,
And left me here to whisper—twist the knife!!!
