GRACIE ABRAMS
"The Knife"

I'm living with a knife in my side
I'm gonna take it for a joy ride
You left when you gave it
What criminal trading, a sorry curse
And they're daring me to pull it out
I'll probably keep it for a lifetime
I'll probably name it, then care for and claim it
That's how it works

[Chorus:]
When you go ruin my life
In the worst way right at the wrong time
When I'd have followed you blind, mm
And then I'll go out of my mind
Shifting my weight over the cliff side
I'm takin' my chances, rolling the dice

[Post-Chorus:]
This should be the last time
Should be the last time
Should be the last time
Should be the last time (Yeah)

And I'm living with the ghost of you like
You're riding shotgun on my long drives
It's your destination, your radio station
Your song, rehearsed, oh-woah
They're daring me to kick you out, oh
I'll probably feel you 'til I die
But I'll never face you or ever replace you
It doesn't work

[Chorus:]
'Cause you go ruin my life
Flatten my days and wrecking my nights
I'll be here doing my time, oh
And, oh, I'll go out of my mind
Banging my cage, and crossing the line
I'll never get out if I never try

[Post-Chorus:]
This should be the last time
'Ime ('Ime), 'ime, 'ime
This should be the last time

[Bridge:]
We know it won't when you're
Holding court from your pedestal
Can't you come down?
And showing no remorse, you're impossible
I was strong before I got knocked down

[Chorus:]
And you just ruined my life
Knowing that I'll be further from fine
I'm all bark, never would bite, ooh
I've gone out of my mind
Pouring my case of kerosene
I'll be burning this down, but keeping your knife
This won't be the last time
