Little Knives

How much you wanna bet

That my little knives

Aren’t sharp enough to pierce

My little neck

And how much you wanna ask

I have nothing to give

But the last few seconds

Before I win this bet

 

Come on, now prove that I’m a one eyed

Bleeding fool of a war I couldn’t win

Com on, now prove I’m a stupid girl

Using words I don’t really know the meaning of

Come on, now tell me you can scare me good,

Come on, now tell me just what I should,

 

Do with these little knives

You gave me, one at a time,

You gave me, these little knives

Carving out my heart in the sleepless nights

You gave me, you gave me

Oh these little knives, little

 

How much you wanna bet

That these little words

Aren’t sharp enough to pierce

My little head

How much you wanna ask

How much you wanna ask

I got less than nothing to give

 

Come on, now prove that I’m a one eyed

Bleeding fool of a war I couldn’t win

Com on, now prove I’m a stupid girl

Using words I don’t really know the meaning of

Come on, now tell me you can scare me good,

Come on, now tell me just what I should,

 

Do with these little knives

You gave me, one at a time,

You gave me, these little knives

Carving out my heart in the sleepless nights

You gave me, you gave me

Oh these little knives, little

 

You think you do nothing

I don’t hear nothing

I don’t see nothing you do

When I close my eyes

I can’t close my ears

I can pretend that these little knives don’t make me bleed

But don’t you, don’t you dare ask me to clean something I don’t see

 

Come on, now prove that I’m a one eyed

Bleeding fool of a war I couldn’t win

Com on, now prove I’m a stupid girl

Using words I don’t really know the meaning of

Come on, now tell me you can scare me good,

Come on, now tell me just what I should,

 

Do with these little knives

You gave me, one at a time,

You gave me, these little knives

Carving out my heart in the sleepless nights

You gave me, you gave me

Oh these little knives, little knives
