Sam Roberts - Twist The Knife lyrics

rate me

I hear you knockin on the door

You will never come in no, no to this house no more

Cause it ain't right, it ain't like it was before

You went sailing off for that distant shore.

Whoa Ohhh ohhh

True, we had a love so true

Oh we had a sky so blue, we had a sky so blue

So why, I had my hopes held high

but all I heard was goodbye when I come for you.

Chorus:

I’ll turn the key and twist the knife

I can’t win, no I can’t win

Now you’re knockin on the door but you can’t come in.

Ohh no!

So you take it on the chin, yeah you take it on your weird chin

Then you do it all again and again tell my when will it end

And you come on back yeah you come on back

With your head held high and your book of lies in a burlap sack

I just don’t’ know honey what went wrong ohh

Love just can’t grow when you're gone so long

Chorus:

I’ll turn the key and twist the knife

If I can’t win, no I can’t win

Now you’re knockin on the door but you can’t come in.

Ohh no!

Ohh ohhh

Oh you just don’t know, which *way the wind is gonna blow

Ohh you just don’t know, just when the sky is gonna fall.

You’ve been a soldier, you’ve been a privateer

now you’re looking much older, yes you are my dear

now you’re back again from a lion's den,

you gotta preacher inside, you gotta poison pen

[Chorus:]

love can bend and love can break*

hearts can mend and hearts can make, life will give you what you take, well I'll forgive you what you take
