Knife

You cut me up
Into little pieces
And throw me into the ocean
For the fish to eat
You're tearing all of my branches down
And pile them in a bonfire

You turn the knife
Cut into an open wound
And throw the bandages
Locked inside an empty room
You pull me down
Over a mountainside
And fall into a web of hurt and lies

And I'm standing alone and bare
Oh I'm standing alone and bare
Oh I'm standing alone and bare
Oh I'm a cigarette that's burning softly
I'm standing alone and bare
Oh I'm standing alone and bare
Oh I'm standing alone and bare
Oh I'm a cigarette stubbed out

Knife
Slicing lovers out of me
You rat me out
Unraveling all the mystery
You chew me up
Spat out like some used up gum
Lost of its flavor, out of worth

You cross me out
Torn out like a diary
Erasing memories
You rewrite your history
You white me out
Wipe me out and over
For forcing out your heartache out of sight

And I'm standing alone and bare
Oh I'm standing alone and bare
Oh I'm standing alone and bare
Oh I'm a cigarette that's burning softly
I'm standing alone and bare
Oh I'm standing alone and bare
Oh I'm standing alone and bare
Oh I'm a cigarette
Oh I'm your cancer love

I'm your cancer love
