[instrumental] [verse 1] you like me better dressed as sweet mouth all gold, hands hidden clean lean in close like i don't know what a girl like me can mean i let you taste the softer lie let it melt across your teeth you never hear the little turn the one i keep beneath [pre-chorus] come a little closer now i've got something warm for you sugar on the tip of my tongue just enough to pull you through you can call it love tonight if it helps you hold me right [chorus] honey on a blade honey on a blade pretty when i touch but i cut the same say it like a prayer say it like my name you can hold me close honey on a blade [verse 2] you love the way i let you think you got here on your own like i didn't line the room before you stepped into the glow i wear devotion like a dress zip it slow along the spine you reach for something innocent and put your pulse in mine [pause 0.7s] i know what makes a body stay i know what makes it kneel how to make the sweetest thing taste a little unreal [pre-chorus] come a little closer now i've got something soft to prove kiss the shine and miss the edge that's the nicest way to lose you can call it love tonight while i slip beneath your skin [chorus] honey on a blade honey on a blade pretty when i touch but i cut the same say it like a prayer say it like my name you can hold me close honey on a blade [bridge] i was never yours to keep only yours to let inside you were looking for a light i was learning where to hide now the room bends when i move now the air gives me away you can taste what's coming next honey on a blade [final chorus] honey on a blade honey on a blade pretty when i touch but i cut the same say it like a prayer say it like my name you can hold me close honey on a blade honey on a blade sweetness with a shape you can kiss me once then it's far too late say it like you mean it with your last clean faith you can love me most honey on a blade
