The Knife

The Knife Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Loyalty
Has always been a two player game, yeah
But you played me
And now I can’t look at you the same
What an awful shame

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh, ah)
Another one bites the dust
(Ooh, ah)
Somebody that I used to trust
(Ooh, ah)
And now there’s no more us
And it hurts, yeah, it hurts
But I know what I deserve, so

[Chorus]
Thank you for the knife
The knife in my back
Almost took my life
Now it’s in my hand
And I’ll use it like you used me
Cut you off and feel no cruelty bout that

[Verse 2]
Funny how
The tower that I put you in falls
And I see now, your true colours weren’t that true at all
And it’s all your fault

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh, ah)
Another one bites the dust
(Ooh, ah)
Somebody that I used to trust
(Ooh, ah)
And now there’s no more us
And it hurts, yeah, it hurts
But I know what I deserve, so

[Chorus]
Thank you for the knife
The knife in my back
Almost took my life
Now it’s in my hand
And I use it like you used me
Cut you off, and feel no cruelty bout that
Mmm, you really had it coming
Thank you for the knife
For watching me bleed
‘Cause I’ve been way too nice
Now I don’t have to be
And I’ll use it like you used me
Cut you off, and feel no cruelty bout that
Mmm, you really had it coming

[Bridge]
Thank you for making it easy
Thank you for making me see just what I’m worth
I almost let it defeat me
Yeah, I know it’s supposed to hurt

[Chorus]
But thank you for the knife
The knife in my back
It almost took my life
Now it’s in my hand
And I use it like you used me
Cut you off, and feel no cruelty bout that
Mmm, you really had it coming
Thank you for the knife
For watching me bleed
‘Cause I’ve been way too nice
And I don’t have to be
And I use it like you used me
Cut you off, and feel no cruelty bout that
Mmm, you really had it coming
Mmm, you really had it coming
