Edge Of A Knife
 

It's been months since you left me
The price I'm paying is steep
It feels like I've been wounded
Don't you know you cut me deep
After you got what you wanted
You still kept up your attack
You pulled out your handy knife
And you stabbed me in the back

I've been trying to get by
Ever since we've been apart
You already broke my spirit
I won't let you break my heart
You know how to cut with words
I've been trying to stand tall
You said you never loved me
That's the deepest cut of all

Now that you're gone forever
My life has been nothing but strife
I've been living my life on the edge
It feels just like the edge of a knife
You took my home and children
But you will not take my life
I'll hold on to the edge to survive
Even if it's the edge of a knife

You think this is all a game
You keep thinking you're so smart
You twist the knife even after
It has plunged into my heart
You took away my children
I don't know where they are
When you use your trusty knife
You know how to leave a scar
