Verse 1
When I was much younger and blinded by love
I trusted my heart to the heavens above
When she left and I was alone in the night
That’s when I first felt the twist of the knife

Chorus 1
The blade slides in easy, again and again
And though the wounds heal the scars still remain
It’s one of the hardest lessons of life
To feel the blade; the twist of the knife

Verse 2
Why you’d think that I’d learn over the years
But life without love is one of my biggest fears
And try as I might the old patterns return
So I sit back and watch as my bridges all burn

Chorus 2
The blade slides in easy, again and again
And though the wounds heal the scars still remain
It’s one of the hardest lessons of life
To feel the blade; the twist of the knife

Verse 3
Still I keep searching for a love that is true
And somewhere in this world I know I’ll find you
Until the day you come in to my life
I’ll live with the pain of the twist of the knife

Chorus 3
The blade slides in easy, again and again
And though the wounds heal the scars still remain
It’s one of the hardest lessons of life
To feel the blade; the twist of the knife
It’s one of the hardest lessons of life
To feel the blade; the twist of the knife
