Knife in the Water

[Verse 1]
I'm one-eyed
I see your shape as a picture
Flat and pale like a knife
You're just a wife and a daughter

I told too many lies
Just to watch you sink inside
Left my fervour behind
And the smoke made me blind

[Chorus]
You, you never know just when to give up (2x)

[Verse 2]
I'm your guy
I made a pact with the ruler
Kept your words on my mind
There's nothing kinder than fear

I hoped that you'd be mine
When you said you lost your mind
All the details of mine
Every word was a lie

[Chorus]
You, you never know just when to give up (2x)

[Bridge]
How much can I take, my heart won't you break
Honey, it's too late, my love won't you take
Tell me you're afraid, there's no other way
Give it to me straight, my heart won't you take
