Lyrics The Knot - Nieves

The Knot

Where is the face you wore to that party
As I down the drain with your shoes in your hand
You had a laugh and I called you dirty
Then we went home together, but not as planned
You’d loot for bad news out of the paper
Then read it to me like it was my fault
I got it tied at the breakfast table
But let’s not lead these soldiers to war
We said we wouldn’t do this again
You know there’s nothing you can break I can’t mend
As we construct another argument
But leave me with the lights left on
And I can never get them off
Swallowed by the fear that twists my gut
And I can’t find the knot
Nothing that you said was wrong
But there were things you didn’t have to say
You never leave for long
No you and your pride don’t walk away
'Calm down, we’ll wake the neighbors' she whispers and shouts
I’ll sit and take it, but soft as I am, you ruined my dear
Break glass, and tip the table, you’re raising your hands
Red and unstable, it’s not that I’m calm, but at least I try
But leave me with the lights left on
And I can never get them off
Swallowed by the fear that twists my gut
And I can’t find the knot
Nothing that you said was wrong
But there were things you didn’t have to say
You never leave for long
No you and your pride
No you and your pride is all and all ??
Wake from the ledger, the bruise on my head ??
Too small to measure you had to be dear ??
And trailing out on an absence of care
Consider this: that I’m right
And just conceded to sleep through the night
You won’t believe it but I can be fair
Don’t need a motive to say that I care
Cause we are not the same anymore
Yeah, leave me with the lights left on
I can never get them off
Swallowed by the fear, it twists my gut
And I can’t find the knot
Nothing that you said was wrong
But there were things you didn’t have to say
You never leave for long
No you and your pride don’t walk away
