The Knife


           The knife (put it down)
 
Put the knife down
My sweet baby
Put it down
Your not going crazy
Put it down
Put it down
Put it down
 
Just take my hand
And I'll show you that we can
Make it through all the pain
You won't be going insane
 
 
Drowning in a pool of
liquor flavored tears
Trying too wash down
All your fears
Sniffing all the cocaine sufferings
To mask the feelings of losing
I'll let you know that it's
gonna be alright
Because I'm here too fight
 
 
So put that knife down
Because I don't want you to leave
Put that rusty blade aside
Because your still good my eyes
 
 
Reminiscing on all the bad times
Will just drive you crazy
But if you let me prove that it's gonna be alright
You might just forgive yourself maybe
 
And just because they call you
Terrible
Doesn't mean your horrible
They're just jealous
Of how lucky you are too be so special
 
 
So why don't you
go ahead and put that knife down
And try to give a smile
For me
 
 
Sweating because of Molly
Poppin pills with miss Dolly
Puffing smoke in front of your face
Thinking that you can hide the pain
But at the end of the day
Was it all really worth it......
 
So just take my hand
And I'll show you that we can
Make it through all the pain
You won't be going insane
 
I'll be with you through thick and thin
Even when you feel like you can't win
I'll be your greatest friend
Even until the end
