Knife in the Heart

Verse 1

I wore your name like a second skin

Slept beside a stranger I believed in

You learned my breathing, learned my scars

Learned how to disappear in his arms

You smiled through vows like they were glass

Said “forever” like it wouldn’t last

I trusted the silence, trusted the dark

Didn’t know you were sharpening the part

Pre-Chorus

Every “I love you” felt rehearsed

Every lie got better, every truth got worse

Chorus

You left a knife in my heart

And asked why I was bleeding

Twisted the blade with your tears

Said you never meant to mean it

You slept in my bed

While you buried me alive

Don’t call it a mistake

Call it a knife

A knife in my heart

Verse 2

I traced the cracks in wedding rings

Like warning signs I didn’t read

Your phone lit up like a second life

While I prayed for you every night

You learned how to lie with holy grace

Put guilt on me, kept a straight face

Said I was distant, said I changed

While you were the one slipping away

Pre-Chorus

You made me doubt my own damn mind

While you were crossing every line

Chorus

You left a knife in my heart

And asked why I was screaming

Held me while I fell apart

Swore you were just dreaming

You kissed me goodbye

Then ran to his arms

Don’t call it love

Call it what it is

A knife in my heart

Breakdown (slow → crushing)

You didn’t trip

You didn’t fall

You walked that path

You chose it all

Say his name

Say it loud

Say it while I’m on the ground

YOU KNEW

YOU KNEW

YOU FUCKING KNEW

Bridge (melodic / haunting)

If love is trust, then trust is dead

If vows mean nothing, what did we say?

I would’ve bled for you honestly

But you chose to murder me quietly

Final Chorus (bigger, slower)

You left a knife in my heart

And played the victim perfectly

Turned my pain into your excuse

Called betrayal “finding me”

I gave you my life

You gave me the scar

Don’t pray for forgiveness

You know who you are

Outro

I pulled the knife out

Not to heal

But to remember

What was real

You didn’t break my heart…

You proved

I had one
