elizabeth saulsbury - a twist of the knife كلمات أغنية

i can’t breathe at the bar – i’m dying to leave
but that’s not what you want – you order another drink
when you’re soaked in liquor, you’re flammable
still the bond we share, it’s chemical

there’s a dangerous fuse i dare not touch
i defend your inertia when you won’t rise above
‘cause you’ve got better angels that they just don’t see
look twice at my baby, he’s more than he seems

and so what if it hurts
it could be so much worse

what’s a little twist of the knife
when i’ve felt more pain than that
you’re not the meanest man i’ve known
i’m just getting tired of keeping track

i’d die for you, but you just can’t believe
someone could love you unconditionally
your jealous words are daggers into my chest
but if i hold on, i’ll pass this test

i’ve got a high threshold for pain
i can take it, i want to stay
what’s a little twist of the knife
i’ve been lower than this before
i tally the oceans of gives and takes
i’m just getting tired of keeping score
what’s a little blow to the heart
when love is sweeter for the fight
we’ll bond in the battle, we’ll win the war
and everything will be all right

but then you’ll give up
’cause all that i had was still not enough

you’ll take all your bottles, your pens, and your pills
and find absolution in some cheaper thrills
tell yourself that’s where redemption is found
in the pain of another, in the animal sound
of a heart being broken – that deep, keening cry
of a woman who knows that she’s going to die
she looks for a healer, tries all that she knows
but the cavity’s open – the bleeding won’t slow
losing hope with each tick of the clock
searching for answers, she slips into shock
the wound is infected, the poison has spread
but she still loved you while you left her for dead
cold_blooded murder, now you’re on the run
‘cause you’re too weak to face all the things you’ve done
will you deign to visit my abandoned grave
won’t you join me down here in the dirt someday
“here lies two lovers who couldn’t be saved”
we couldn’t be saved
we couldn’t be saved

- elizabeth saulsbury
