[Verse 1] You came in soft With your clean little grin Left a mark on the door And a crack in my skin I gave you the key You made it look sweet Then you turned my own mercy Into something to bleed [Pre-Chorus] I kept saying maybe Maybe I was wrong But the silence got louder Every night you were gone And I saw it clear In the cold little light What I called my rescue Was just you holding tight [Chorus] You didn’t break my heart You taught it the truth The lie wasn’t love The knife was you You didn’t break my heart You taught it the truth I named it devotion But the knife was you (The knife was you) [Verse 2] You wore my trust like a coat Then left it in rain Smiled like a saint While you sharpened the blame I found all the pieces In the back of my mind Every promise you borrowed Had a bruise on the spine [Pre-Chorus] I kept saying maybe Maybe I was wrong But the silence got louder Every night you were gone Now I see your shadow In the frame of my view And the worst of the damage Was believing in you [Chorus] You didn’t break my heart You taught it the truth The lie wasn’t love The knife was you You didn’t break my heart You taught it the truth I named it devotion But the knife was you (The knife was you) [Bridge] So keep your apology Keep your polished smile I buried the version That stayed for a while I’m done calling poison By some sweeter name I learned how to live With the shape of the blame [Final Chorus] You didn’t break my heart You taught it the truth The lie wasn’t love The knife was you You didn’t break my heart You taught it the truth I found myself again When I lost you (The knife was you)
