Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You could teach me to be cruel
Like the way they tortured you
Teach me to be cruel
Like the way they tortured you
[Verse 2]
It's alright
Twist the knife
It's alright
Twist the knife
[Verse 3]
You disappear, disappear
Into gray, run away, run away
You disappear, disappear
Into gray, run away, run away
[Verse 4]
You can't let go of the past
When each day feels like your last
We could try to play it straight
But sometimes love feels just like hate
[Verse 5]
Every time I close my eyes
You twist and turn the knife
[Verse 6]
You could teach me to be cruel
Like the way they tortured you
Teach me to be cruel
Like the way they tortured you
[Verse 7]
It's alright
Twist the knife
It's alright
Twist the knife
[Verse 8]
You disappear, disappear
Into gray, run away, run away
You disappear, disappear
Into gray, run away, run away
[Verse 9]
You can't let go of the past
When each day feels like your last
We could try to play it straight
But sometimes love feels just like hate
[Verse 10]
Every time I close my eyes
You twist and turn the knife
[Verse 11]
You could teach me to be cruel
Like the way they tortured you
Teach me to be cruel
Like the way they tortured you
[Verse 12]
It's alright
Twist the knife
It's alright
Twist the knife
