Lyrics of the Day

I hear you knocking on the door but you ain't never coming in. No, no, to this house no more
cause it ain't like, it ain't like it was before
you went sailin' on for that distant shore

True, we had love so true, oh and we had skies so blue
we had skies so blue.
so I, I had my hopes up high till all I heard was goodbye when I called for you

I turn the key, you twist the knife
I can't win, no I can't win.
now you're knockin' on the door but you can't come in oh no.

So you can take it on the chin, yeah you take it on your weak chin
then you do it all again and again.
tell me when will it end, and now you come back, oh yeah, you crawled on back
with your head held high and your book of lies in a burlap sack
I just don't know, honey, what went wrong, love just can't grow when you're gone so long.

I turn the key, you twist the knife
I can't win, no I can't win.
now you're knockin' on the door but you can't come in oh no.

Oh you just don't know which way the wind is going to blow
no, you just don't know just when the sky is going to fall

you've been a soldier, you've been a privateer
now you're looking much older yes you are my dear
now your back again from the lion's den
you've got a plagiarist's eye, you've got a poison pen
I turn the key, you twist the knife
I can't win, no I can't win
now you're knockin' on the door but you can't come in oh no.

Oh you just don't know which way the wind is going to blow
no, you just don't know just when the sky is going to fall

Love can bend you, love can break
hearts can mend and hearts can ache
life will give you what you take

Life will give you what you take
love can bend you, love can break
hearts can mend and hearts can ache
life will give you what you take
Life will give you what you take

Sam Roberts - Twist the Knife
