Twist Of The Knife Lyrics by Electric Light Orchestra

Twist Of The Knife Lyrics

    Lipstick traces on an unmade bed
    We drank all night and got devils in our head
    She said some things that should have stayed unsaid
    Emotions overflowing
    Now i don't know what to believe
    Sitting here in the cold light of the day

    She felt anger, i felt pain
    I walked out into the pouring rain
    Packed my bags and took the midnight train
    Didn't care where it was going
    On my way, running like a thief
    Hard to leave, but harder to stay

    There's no wrong, there's no right
    But sometimes she breaks all the rules
    And lying here alone tonight
    Can't believe love can be so cruel

    Wish i'd believed her
    'cos now i need her
    Sometimes the truth just hurts too much

    She goes straight to the heart
    With a truth that always finds me
    She goes straight to the heart
    And pulls tight the ties that bind me
    She can be so cold, and it tears me apart
    When she twists the knife
    It goes straight to the heart

    Sometimes love is an endless fight
    It's never simple, never black and white
    Just like ships passing in the night
    Who knows where they're going
    No forgiveness, no reprieve
    Both sailing their separate ways

    Light of day, dead of night
    I'm searching for what i can't find
    Try and try as i might
    I can't get her out of my mind

    Wish i'd believed her
    'cos now i need her
    I guess we all must love and learn
    She goes straight to heart
    With a truth that always finds me
    She goes straight to the heart
    And pulls tight the ties that bind me
    She can be cold, and it tears me apart
    When she twists the knife
    It goes straight to the heart
