Knife in the Back

He took another hit from the cigarette

Lookin down that long, lonely, road

10 long years chalk full of regret

Like the dying petals on a rose

Said my heart can only take so much

But it struggles on day by day

Never did it matter

Never would it sway

You were always yesterday

This was a matter of fact

You were never gonna see the day

Your knife stuck in my back

He wrote a few last words to close the memoir

Lookin for that peace of mind

10 sweet words form a premise

On these long lost fading lines

Said my heart can only take so much

But it struggles on day by day

Never did it matter

Never would it sway

You were always yesterday

This was a matter of fact

You were never gonna see the day

Your knife stuck in my back

Back to myself

In this lonely world

But at least I can enjoy the quiet

Was any of the ways that my world fell apart

Something that you planned

We were never gonna be

Never gonna last

But for a moment

One sweet moment

It was nice to dream

Said my heart can only take so much

But it struggles on day by day

Never did it matter

Never would it sway

You were always yesterday

This was a matter of fact

You were never gonna see the day

Your knife stuck in my back
