Straight for the Knife

Lyrics

Put on my best dress, I wanted to impress
 I put a little makeup on
 Put a bow in my hair, wore pretty underwear
 Hoping you might take it off
 Don't know your etiquette, but I'm strapped to my chair
 And it ain't 'cause you're pretty
 You were charming, until you saw your chance to kill
 Your chance to make history
 You went straight for the knife and I prepared to die
 Your blade, it shines
 Looked me straight in the eye
 You turned the gas on high, held the flame alight
 You wonder why I'm scared of fire
 You wonder why you make girls cry
 My mascara a mess, harsh words for your princess
 Boy, you and your promises
 If your goal was to love, you scored an epic miss
 Now you'll just have memories
 You went straight for the knife and I prepared to die
 Your blade it shines
 Looked me straight in the eye
 You turned the gas on high, held the flame alight
 You wonder why I'm scared of fire
 You wonder why you make girls cry
 Boy, you draw me back in
 I'm hungry for your bad loving
 But will someone find me swinging from the rafters
 From hanging on your every word
 You went straight for the knife and I prepared to die
 Your blade it shines
 Looked me straight in the eye
 You turned the gas on high, held the flame alight
 You wonder why I'm scared of fire
 You wonder why you make girls cry
 You wonder why you make girls cry
