Song Lyrics

Tell me what did you see in her
'Cause I've been living in sweet despair
I don't really know what's in the cards of life
All I really know is my tears won't dry tonight

Love was hidden within your smoke
Blinding lights and disheartened hope
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

One mistake it's all it really takes
To take my breath away
Go on put the knife in
Run away, don't need you anyway
Although I wish you'd stay
Go on put the knife in

You've been foolish
And I've been stupid
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
One mistake it's all it really takes
To take my breath away
Go on put the knife in

I get voices inside my head
Something's different inside this bed
I don't really know what's in the cards of life
All I really know is my tears won't dry tonight
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

One mistake it's all it really takes
To take my breath away
Go on put the knife in
Run away, don't need you anyway
Although I wish you'd stay
Go on put the knife in

You've been foolish
And I've been stupid
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

One mistake it's all it really takes
To take my breath away
Go on put the knife in

I'll be crying you'll be screaming,
We'll come tumbling down
Just thought you and I
Weren't another face in the crowd?
I'd rather wake up in an empty house than this battleground
I'm on my own now, I'm on my own now

You'll be sorry, I won't worry
I'm ok, better now
Just remember what you did and how it didn't work out
I'd rather wake up feeling empty (caused from this point on?)
You're on your own now, you're on your own now

One mistake it's all it really takes
To take my breath away
Go on put the knife in

One mistake it's all it really takes
To take my breath away
Go on put the knife in

Run away, don't need you anyway
Although I wish you'd stay
Go on put the knife in

You've been foolish
And I've been stupid
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

One mistake it's all it really takes
To take my breath away
Go on put the knife in
