Below, you will find the lyrics for The Knife in my Back by Alec Benjamin.
Verse 1
I'm slowly learning
That the things you promised me
Are burning like the embers
Of a thousand willow trees
And every single secret
Has been broadcast like tv
Now all the threads are severed
That were tying you to me
Chorus 1
I thought we were friends
But now we're enemies
I thought we were friends
But now we're enemies
Pull your knife out of my back
Your blood runs black
I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast
I let you in
I held you close
My blood flows like a river 'cause i trusted you the most
And now i know it's over
And now i know it's over
And now i know it's over
And now i know it's over
I even let you in my home
Took you out for dinner and let you wear my clothes
I can't even breathe
I have your scent still in my nose
It's like i almost miss you
I should have known
Chorus 2
I thought we were friends
But now we're enemies
I thought we were friends
But now we're enemies
Pull your knife out of my back
Your blood runs black
I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast
I let you in
I held you close
My blood flows like a river 'cause i trusted you the most
And now i know it's over
Bridge
And now i know it's over
And now i know it's over
And now i know it's over
Chorus 3
I thought we were friends
But now we're enemies
I thought we were friends
But now we're enemies
Pull your knife out of my back
Your blood runs black
I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast
I let you in
I held you close
My blood flows like a river 'cause i trusted you the most
And now i know it's over
Outro
And now i know it's over
And now i know it's over
And now i know it's over
