Alec Benjamin
The Knife in my Back
[Verse 1]
I'm 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 blood runs 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
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)

[Post-Chorus]
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
[Verse 2]
I was so naive
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 have known

[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 blood runs 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
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)

[Bridge]
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
[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 blood runs 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
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)

[Outro]
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
And now I know it's over (Woo-ooh-ah-oooh)
