The Knife In My Back Lyrics by Alec Benjamin
[Verse 1]
I am slowly learning that the things you promised me
Are burning like the embers of a thousand willow trees
And every single secret has been broadcast like TV
Now all the threads are severed that were tying you to me
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought we were friends, but now we're enemies
I thought we were friends, but now we're enemies
[Chorus]
Pull your knife out of my back
Your heart's gone black
I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast
I let you in
I held you close
My blood flows like a river 'cause I trusted you the most
[Post-Chorus]
And now I know it's over
Woo-ooh-ooh (Hmm)
And now I know it's over
Woo-ooh-ooh (Hmm-hmm)
[Verse 2]
I was so naïve, I even let you in my home
Took you out for dinner and let you wear my clothes
I can't even breathe, I have your scent still in my nose
It's like I almost miss you, I should've known
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought we were friends, but now we're enemies
[Chorus]
Pull your knife out of my back
Your heart's gone black
I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast
I let you in
I held you close
My blood flows like a river 'cause I trusted you the most
[Post-Chorus]
And now I know it's over
Woo-ooh-ooh (Hmm)
And now I know it's over
Woo-ooh-ooh (Hmm-hmm)
[Bridge]
I thought we were friends, but now we're enemies
I thought we were friends, but now we're enemies
[Chorus]
Pull your knife out of my back
Your heart's gone black
I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast
I let you in
I held you close
My blood flows like a river 'cause I trusted you the most
[Post-Chorus]
And now I know it's over
Woo-ooh-ooh (Hmm)
And now I know it's over
Woo-ooh-ooh (Hmm-hmm)
And now I know it's over
Woo-ooh-ooh (Hmm-hmm)
And now I know it's over
Woo-ooh-ooh (Hmm-hmm)
