[Verse 1]
Black dress
Cherry lip stain
You said my heartbreak tastes like champagne
Laughing in the back of your car
Halo in your hand
In a mason jar
You trace my scars like you wrote them
Promise me pain
Then you quote it
Red flags folded into roses
You kiss my throat
My vision closes
[Chorus]
I keep kissing the knife
While you call it love
You keep wrecking my life
I can’t get enough
You drag me down
I say it’s heaven
Every cut feels like a blessing
I keep kissing the knife
I keep kissing the knife (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
You pray in ink on my skin
Every “forgive me” makes me sin
You burn my wings just to watch me fall
Then say you’re the net at the bottom of it all
Midnight mass in your bedroom
You turn my fear into perfume
I breathe you in till my lungs shake
You say “it’s real
” I know it’s fake
[Chorus]
I keep kissing the knife
While you call it love
You keep wrecking my life
I can’t get enough
You drag me down
I say it’s heaven
Every cut feels like a blessing
I keep kissing the knife
I keep kissing the knife (yeah-yeah)
[Bridge]
You’re the cross I keep on wearing
You’re the curse I keep declaring
If this is what devotion is
Why does it feel like an abyss?
Spinning on your twisted swing
Laugh till all the church bells ring
Swear I’ll leave you every night
Wake up wanting one more bite (one more bite)
[Chorus]
I keep kissing the knife
While you call it love
You keep wrecking my life
I can’t get enough
You drag me down
I say it’s heaven
Every cut feels like a blessing
I keep kissing the knife
I keep kissing the knife (oh-oh)
I keep kissing the knife
And I call it love
