Straight for the Knife lyrics

Put on my best dress, I wanted to impress

I put a little make up on

Put a bow in my hair, wore pretty underwear

Hoping you might take it off

Don’t know your etiquette but

I’m strapped to my chair, and it ain’t cuz your pretty

You were charming, until

You saw your chance to kill, your chance to make history

You went straight for the knife, and I prepared to die

Your blade it shines

Looked me straight in the eye, you turned the gas on high

Held the flame alight, you wonder why

I’m scared of fire

You wonder why you make girls cry

My mascara a mess, harsh words for your princess

Boy you and your promises

If your goal was to love, you scored an epic miss

Now you’ll just have memories

You went straight for the knife, and I prepared to die

Your blade it shines

Looked me straight in the eye, you turned the gas on high

Held the flame alight, you wonder why

I’m scared of fire

You wonder why you make girls cry

Boy you draw me back in

I’m hungry for your bad loving

But will someone find me swinging from the rafters

From hanging on your every word

You went straight for the knife, and I prepared to die

Your blade it shines

Looked me straight in the eye, you turned the gas on high

Held the flame alight, you wonder why

I’m scared of fire

You wonder why you make girls cry
