I watch it trickle from your lips Pearls of ruby red soaking up your head until you want to push through And then the world turns red And the wine tastes sour Pushing back the hand until the midnight hour Every door is closing behind you There's no one left to come and find you You're soaking wet but the file won't dry you I'd like to help but I can't stand by And watch you twisting the knife They've got you wasting your life Can't stop you twisting the knife Id rather turn out all the lights than see you like this Caress me with your anger Sting me with your kiss You've been pushing too hard I've been trying too long Now I don't believe I have the will to carry on
You take it one step forward Then it's two steps back I'd jump the wire but I'm feeling trapped Its other people make you insecure I won't surrender like I did before And watch you twisting the knife They've got you wasting your life Can't stop you twisting the knife Surrender like I did before Twisting the knife Sting me with your kiss You take it one step forward Then it's two steps back I'd jump the wire but I'm feeling trapped Its other people make you insecure I won't surrender like I did before And watch you twisting the knife They've got you wasting your life Can't stop you twisting the knife
