Verse 1 I saw the truth in your silence, the way you looked away. My best friend’s shadow in your eyes, and I knew you’d gone astray. Verse 2 It hit me like a thunderstorm, a blade straight to the chest. The kind of pain that burns your name, and leaves no room to rest. Pre-Chorus But I won’t scream, I won’t fight, I’ll just play this song tonight. ‘Cause deep inside, I still believe, we both were wrong, we both deceived. Chorus Love and the knife, cut me open, took my light. You and my brother in the night, the cruelest twist, the sharpest bite. But I forgive you, my love, we broke it both, we lost the dove. Love and the knife… still bleeding in my life. Verse 3 The echoes of your laughter, still haunt my empty bed. I gave you all I had to give, you gave it him instead. Bridge I’m not a saint, I’ve made mistakes, but this one carved too deep. Still I’d rather heal than hate, than drown in what we couldn’t keep. Chorus (reprise) Love and the knife, cut me open, took my light. You and my brother in the night, the cruelest twist, the sharpest bite. But I forgive you, my love, we broke it both, we lost the dove. Love and the knife… still bleeding in my life. Outro (spoken over guitar solo) You were my fire… and my wound.
