Twist Of The Knife Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

Lipstick traces on an unmade bed 

We drank all night and got devils in our head 

She said some things that should have stayed unsaid 

Emotions overflowing 

Now I don't know what to believe 

Sitting here in the cold light of the day 

She felt anger, I felt pain 

I walked out into the pouring rain 

Packed my bags and took the midnight train 

Didn't care where it was going 

On my way, running like a thief 

Hard to leave, but harder to stay 

There's no wrong, there's no right 

But sometimes she breaks all the rules 

And lying here alone tonight 

Can't believe love can be so cruel 

Wish I'd believed her 

'cos now I need her 

Sometimes the truth just hurts too much 

She goes straight to the heart 

With a truth that always finds me 

She goes straight to the heart 

And pulls tight the ties that bind me 

She can be so cold, and it tears me apart 

When she twists the knife 

It goes straight to the heart 

Sometimes love is an endless fight 

It's never simple, never black and white 

Just like ships passing in the night 

Who knows where they're going 

No forgiveness, no reprieve 

Both sailing their separate ways 

Light of day, dead of night 

I'm searching for what I can't find 

Try and try as I might 

I can't get her out of my mind 

Wish I'd believed her 

'cos now I need her 

I guess we all must love and learn 

She goes straight to heart 

With a truth that always finds me 

She goes straight to the heart 

And pulls tight the ties that bind me 

She can be cold, and it tears me apart 

When she twists the knife 

It goes straight to the heart
