Twist Of The Knife lyrics

Lipstick traces on an unmade bedWe drank all night and got devils in our headShe said some things that should have stayed unsaidEmotions overflowingNow I don’t know what to believeSitting here in the cold light of the dayShe felt anger, I felt painI walked out into the pouring rainPacked my bags and took the midnight trainDidn’t care where it was goingOn my way, running like a thiefHard to leave, but harder to stayThere’s no wrong, there’s no rightBut sometimes she breaks all the rulesAnd lying here alone tonightCan’t believe love can be so cruelWish I’d believed her’cos now I need herSometimes the truth just hurts too muchShe goes straight to the heartWith a truth that always finds meShe goes straight to the heartAnd pulls tight the ties that bind meShe can be so cold, and it tears me apartWhen she twists the knifeIt goes straight to the heartSometimes love is an endless fightIt’s never simple, never black and whiteJust like ships passing in the nightWho knows where they’re goingNo forgiveness, no reprieveBoth sailing their separate waysLight of day, dead of nightI’m searching for what I can’t findTry and try as I mightI can’t get her out of my mindWish I’d believed her’cos now I need herI guess we all must love and learnShe goes straight to heartWith a truth that always finds meShe goes straight to the heartAnd pulls tight the ties that bind meShe can be cold, and it tears me apartWhen she twists the knifeIt goes straight to the heart
