Straight for the Knife
Put on my best dress, I wanted to impressI put a little make up onPut a bow in my hair, wore pretty underwearHoping you might take it offDon’t know your etiquette butI’m strapped to my chair, and it ain’t cuz your prettyYou were charming, untilYou saw your chance to kill, your chance to make history
You went straight for the knife, and I prepared to dieYour blade it shinesLooked me straight in the eye, you turned the gas on highHeld the flame alight, you wonder whyI’m scared of fireYou wonder why you make girls cry
My mascara a mess, harsh words for your princessBoy you and your promisesIf your goal was to love, you scored an epic missNow you’ll just have memories
You went straight for the knife, and I prepared to dieYour blade it shinesLooked me straight in the eye, you turned the gas on highHeld the flame alight, you wonder whyI’m scared of fireYou wonder why you make girls cry
Boy you draw me back inI’m hungry for your bad lovingBut will someone find me swinging from the raftersFrom hanging on your every word
You went straight for the knife, and I prepared to dieYour blade it shinesLooked me straight in the eye, you turned the gas on highHeld the flame alight, you wonder whyI’m scared of fireYou wonder why you make girls cry
