Lyrics
IT'S WROTE ACROSS YOUR FACE
LIKE 'CROSS A RED LINE TRAIN,
LIT UP LIKE A CRIME SCENE
AND GUILTY AS THE RAIN.
GO ON AND SIGN YOUR MASTERPIECE!
SIGN IT BIG AND SIGN IT BOLD:
A COLD CONCRETE CANVAS
WITH THE OUTLINE....THE OUTLINE OF MY SOUL.
I CAN SMELL IT.
I CAN TASTE IT.
DOWN TO MY CORE.
I KNOW YOUR HEART
I KNOW YOUR HEART
I KNOW YOUR HEART...GOT ONE FOOT OUT THE DOOR.
YOU'RE DRAGGIN' OUT THAT SMILE
LIKE IT'S HALF A TON OF IRON
SLINKIN' THROUGH THE MOTIONS
OF OUR ONCE UPON A TIME.
YOU SLOW DANCE MY DENIAL,
AND EASE ME THROUGH THE STING
PICKIN' EVERY SHINY WORD
JUST LIKE DIAMONDS...DIAMONDS FOR A RING
I CAN SMELL IT.
I CAN TASTE IT.
DOWN TO MY CORE.
I KNOW YOUR HEART
I KNOW YOUR HEART
I KNOW YOUR HEART...GOT ONE FOOT OUT THE DOOR.
I BUILT MY LIFE AROUND YOU
BUT I WAS NOT BUILT TO CRAWL
WHILE YOUR LOVE WAITS FOR THE TAXI
WITH ITS SUITCASE...ITS SUITCASE IN THE HALL
I CAN SMELL IT.
I CAN TASTE IT.
DOWN TO MY CORE.
I KNOW YOUR HEART
I KNOW YOUR HEART
I KNOW YOUR HEART...GOT ONE FOOT OUT THE DOOR.
