You took the knife away from me
Leaving no reason for me to hurt
Well, one day he ruined all we had
And dug that knife up from the dirt
All he did was snap his fingers
And you were no longer allowed to be mine
You began to think you're too good for anyone
And I held on thinking we'd get through this fine
Then he told you I wasn't good enough
And that I couldn't be the one for you
So you obeyed all that he said
You did everything he told you to do
* * *
So today he takes that knife and hurts me
Mocking the habit I've escaped
But you just stood there and laughed with him
I scream, he cuts, and more blood drains
I'm numb to the pain he inflicted on me
But what you did killed me, how could you laugh?
I collapse, crying, and trying to breathe
As my skin turns pale in this cold, bloody bath
Oh, but now you know how deep he's cut
Remember how fatal those gashes could be?
But instead of blaming him for this huge, bloody bath
You continue laughing and start kicking me
I can't see anything but crimson in the dirt
And I smell nothing but the blood that he stole
But I can still hear the names that you call me
And ultimately feel my life take its toll
