Lyrics for Song: Twist Of The Knife
Lyrics for Album: Moment Of Truth [1994]
Lipstick traces on an unmade bed
We drank all night and got devils in our head
She said some things that should have stayed unsaid
Emotions overflowing
Now I don't know what to believe
Sitting here in the cold light of the day
She felt anger, I felt pain
I walked out into the pouring rain
Packed my bags and took the midnight train
Didn't care where it was going
On my way, running like a thief
Hard to leave, but harder to stay
There's no wrong, there's no right
But sometimes she breaks all the rules
And lying here alone tonight
Can't believe love can be so cruel
Wish I'd believed her
'Cos now I need her
Sometimes the truth just hurts too much
She goes straight to the heart
With a truth that always finds me
She goes straight to the heart
And pulls tight the ties that bind me
She can be so cold, and it tears me apart
When she twists the knife
It goes straight to the heart
Sometimes love is an endless fight
It's never simple, never black and white
Just like ships passing in the night
Who knows where they're going
No forgiveness, no reprieve
Both sailing their separate ways
Light of day, dead of night
I'm searching for what I can't find
Try and try as I might
I can't get her out of my mind
Wish I'd believed her
'Cos now I need her
I guess we all must love and learn
She goes straight to heart
With a truth that always finds me
She goes straight to the heart
And pulls tight the ties that bind me
She can be cold, and it tears me apart
When she twists the knife
It goes straight to the heart
