Like A Knife Lyrics by Secondhand Serenade

A Twist In My Story

2008

[Verse 1]
I dream a lot, I know you say
"I've got to get away
The world is not yours for the taking"
Is all you ever say
I know I'm not the best for you
But promise that you'll stay
'Cause if I watch you go
You'll see me wasting
You'll see me wasting away
[Chorus]
'Cause today, you walked out of my life
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life
[Verse 2]
Goodbyes are meant for lonely people
Standing in the rain
And no matter where I go
It's always pouring all the same
These streets are filled with memories
Both perfect and in pain
And all I wanna do is love you
But I'm the only one to blame
[Chorus]
'Cause today, you walked out of my life
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life
[Bridge]
But what do I know if you're leaving?
All you did was stop the bleeding
But these scars will stay forever
These scars will stay forever
And these words, they have no meaning
If we cannot find the feeling
That we held on to together
Try your hardest to remember
[Breakdown]
Stay with me
Or watch me bleed
I need you just to breathe
[Chorus]
'Cause today (Stay with me)
You walked out of my life (Or watch me bleed)
'Cause today (I need you)
Your words felt like a knife (Just to breathe)
I'm not living this life
