Electric Light Orchestra Twist Of The Knife Lyrics

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
