The Knife♥️ (MachineShop)

Baby I whisper in the night, so cold Telling you to stop, but you lose control Every time you sink in deeper still You apologize, but you take your fill If I could be steel, I wouldn't break But I'm just flesh, so I bend and ache oh please Why do I, why do I, why do I? Why do I give in, why do I obey? You cut through me, but I beg you to stay I'm bleeding, I'm fading You're the knife, and I'm still waiting For the moment I stop feeling For the moment I stop bleeding But I can't / no, I can't Oh I can't You say you hate the stains I leave But baby you carve them into me You push too hard, but it's not your fault I was born to break, to bear it all And when you pull away, I feel you still A phantom ache I can’t seem to kill Baby Why do I, why do I, why do I? Why do I give in, why do I obey? You cut through me, but I beg you to stay (Machine Shop) Yeah, I been walking with the weight of expectations on my back Trying not to disappear inside the cracks You keep pulling on the strings like I’m here to break for you But I learned that love ain’t love when it hurts like that to do I’m done being quiet while my voice gets drowned I’m done turning every bruise into a crown If I give my heart, it’s gotta feel safe Not another battlefield I gotta face I’m rising from the pressure, feeling something new Not made of steel — but I’m stronger than I knew If I stay, it’s ’cause I choose, not ’cause I’m chained And if you come back now, you won’t find me the same I'm bleeding, I'm fading You're the knife, and I'm still waiting For the moment I stop feeling For the moment I stop bleeding But I can't / no, I can't Maybe I'm just meant to scar To feel your kiss like a work of art And even when you bleed me dry You'll come back / I know you'll try The blood is drying, but you still shine You come again / while I'm left behind Maybe one day, I won’t have to feel But until then, I guess I’ll heal Oh you cut deep but the pleasure's mine
