Butter Knife

[Verse 1] I used to laugh without checking the room Now I measure every breath I take Your silence cuts deeper than your words Each glance a judgment I can't escape The void between us fills with my mistakes [Pre-Chorus] You never raise your voice But I hear the disappointment clear In every sigh, every choice That tells me I don't belong here [Chorus] With a butter knife you carve me thin Slice away what I used to be No blood, no scream, just wearing in Until there's nothing left of me Paper cuts that never heal This is how you make me feel [Verse 2] I apologize for things I didn't do Walk on glass in my own home Your love feels like a trial I'm bound to lose Where mercy's something I'll never own The jury's always you alone [Pre-Chorus] You never raise your voice But I hear the disappointment clear In every sigh, every choice That tells me I don't belong here [Chorus] With a butter knife you carve me thin Slice away what I used to be No blood, no scream, just wearing in Until there's nothing left of me Paper cuts that never heal This is how you make me feel [Bridge] I watch myself disappearing In the mirror of your eyes Every day a little smaller Believing all your quiet lies When did I become so fragile When did I forget my name Now I'm just an empty outline In your dance of cruelty and pain [Short Instrumental build-up] [Chorus] With a butter knife you carve me thin Slice away what I used to be No blood, no scream, just wearing in Until there's nothing left of me Paper cuts that never heal This is how you make me feel [Outro] I used to be someone Before you taught me how to fade Now I'm just the void Where a person used to stay
