You touched my life
with your softness in the night
my wish was your command
until you ran out of love

i tell myself i'm free
got the chance of livin' just for me
no need to hurry home
now that you're gone

knife
cuts like a knife
how will i ever heal?
i'm so deeply wounded

knife
cuts like a knife
you cut away the heart of my life

when i pretend
wear a smile to fool my dearest friends
i wonder if they know
it's just a show

i'm on a stage
day and night i go through my charades
but how can i disguise
what's in my eyes?

knife
cuts like a knife
how will i ever heal?
i'm so deeply wounded

knife
cuts like a knife
you cut away the heart of my life
oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh
oh…

i've tried and tried
blocking out the pain i feel inside
the pain of wanting you
wanting you

knife
cuts like a knife
how will i ever heal?
i'm so deeply wounded

knife
cuts like a knife
how will i ever heal?
i'm so deeply wounded

you cut away the heart
of my life
