I met you in a velvet storm, Lipstick vows and thunder rings, You said you loved my “wild” and “warm,” Then tried to clip my wings. You pour your sweetness on the blade, Smile like it’s self-defense, And I pretend I’m not afraid Of how good it makes no sense. Heaven tastes like trouble when you bite, You call it love—I call it appetite. Honeyknife, honeyknife— Cut me slow, keep me alive. Sugar on the edge, I’m dizzy in the light, Honeyknife, honeyknife— Say my name, then change your mind. If you’re gonna ruin me, ruin me right. You’re careful with your kindness, Like it costs you every breath, You hold my heart like contraband, Then ask me to forget. I’ve studied all your weather signs, Your silence, your surprise, But every time I read the sky It burns behind your eyes. You promise me forever in a glance, Then disappear like smoke from your own hands. Honeyknife, honeyknife— Cut me slow, keep me alive. Sugar on the edge, I’m dizzy in the light, Honeyknife, honeyknife— Say my name, then change your mind. If you’re gonna ruin me, ruin me right. Don’t look at me like that… Like I’m your lesson… Like I’m your last mistake… I’m not your cure, I’m not your saint— I’m just the ache you wouldn’t face. You pull me close, you push me away, You want the heat, not the ash it makes, I’m tired of begging for scraps of flame, Then strike the match, babe—say it straight. Honeyknife, honeyknife— Cut me slow, keep me alive. Sugar on the edge, I’m dizzy in the light, Honeyknife, honeyknife— Love me hard, then say goodbye. If you’re gonna ruin me, ruin me right. Honeyknife… honeyknife… If you’re gonna ruin me—ruin me right.
