Knife vs. Face Round 1
Drop Dead Gorgeous Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't sleep tonight
stab me directly in the heart
watch me bleed, i'm lying on your feet
dying, living for just one last breath with you
I love, for you and only you
stop lying; you know i'd lie with you
you're dying on the inside
you're smiling on the outside
settle the score. Knife Vs. Face Round 1




forget the taste of me and follow your instinct
