Straight For The Knife

Put on my best dress, I wanted to impressI put a little make up onPut a bow in my hairWore pretty underwearHoping you might take it offDon't know your etiquette butI'm strapped to my chair, and it ain't cuz your prettyYou were charming, untilYou saw your chance to kill, your chance to make historyYou went straight for the knife, and I prepared to dieYour blade it shinesLooked me straight in the eye, you turned the gas on highHeld the flame alight, you wonder whyI'm scared of fireYou wonder why you make girls cryMy mascara a mess, harsh words for your princessBoy you and your promisesIf your goal was to love, you scored an epic missNow you'll just have memoriesYou went straight for the knife, and I prepared to dieYour blade it shinesLooked me straight in the eye, you turned the gas on highHeld the flame alight, you wonder whyI'm scared of fireYou wonder why you make girls cryBoy you draw me back inI'm hungry for your bad lovingBut will someone find me swinging from the raftersFrom hanging on your every wordYou went straight for the knife, and I prepared to dieYour blade it shinesLooked me straight in the eye, you turned the gas on highHeld the flame alight, you wonder whyI'm scared of fireYou wonder why you make girls cry
