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
