You touched my life

With your softness in the night

My wish was your command

Until you ran out of love

 

I tell myself I'm free

Got the chance of livin' just for me

No need to hurry home

Now that you're gone

 

CHORUS:

Knife

Cuts like a knife

How will I ever heal

I'm so deeply wounded

Knife

Cuts like a knife

You cut away the heart of my life

 

When I pretend

Wear a smile to fool my dearest friends

I wonder if they know

It's just a show

 

I'm on a stage

Day and night I go through my charades

But how can I disguise

What's in my eyes

 

CHORUS

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh…

 

I've tried and tried

Blocking out the pain I feel inside

The pain of wanting you

Wanting you

 

Knife

Cuts like a knife

How will I ever heal

I'm so deeply wounded

[2X]

 

You cut away the heart

Of my life.
