Twisting the Knife (Album Version)

Twisting The Knife - Alison Moyet

I watch it trickle from your lips

Pearls of ruby red soaking up your head

Until you want to push through

Then the world turns red and the wine tastes sour

Pushing back the hand until the midnight hour

Every door is closing behind you

There's no one left to come and find you

You're soaking wet but the file won't dry you

I'd like to help you but I can't stand by

And watch you twisting the knife

They got you wasting your life

Can't stop you twisting the knife

I'd rather turn out all the lights than see you looking like this

Caress me with your anger sting me with your kiss

You've been pushing too hard I've been trying too long

Now I don't believe I have the will to carry on

You take it one step forward then it's two steps back

I'd jump the wire but I'm feeling feeling trapped

It's other people make you insecure

I won't surrender like I did before

And watch you twisting the knife

They got you wasting your life

Can't stop you twisting the knife

Surrender like I did before

Twisting yeah twisting the knife

They got you twisting the knife

Can't stop you yeah yeah yeah

You sting me with your kiss

You take it one step forward

Then it's two steps back

I'd jump the wire but I'm feeling feeling trapped

It's other people make you insecure

I won't surrender like I did before

And watch you twisting the knife

They got you wasting your life

Can't stop you twisting the knife

I won't surrender like I did before

Twisting yeah twisting the knife

They got you twisting the knife

Can't stop you twisting the knife

I won't surrender like I did before

Twisting yeah twisting the knife

They got you twisting the knife

Can't stop you yeah twisting the knife

I won't surrender like I did before
