Lyrics for Pocket Knife

I've been waiting for so long For someone just like me Stuck between right and wrong This fucked up fantasy I've got nothing but blood to let the wrong one in Lost in the garden of lust, this unoriginal sin She came after me with a pocket knife Stuck here in a dream Nightmare of my life Nothing left to do Just sit there and scream Wake up next to you and try to go back to sleep Try to go back to sleep I've been waiting for so long For someone just like you Tell me your favorite song I'll sing a different tune I've got nothing but blood upon these hands of mine Left you out in the sun, you hung me out to dry She came after me with a pocket knife Stuck here in a dream Nightmare of my life Nothing left to do Just sit there and scream Wake up next to you and try to go back to sleep (Woah ho oh) Baby you've got some nerve (Woah ho oh) Cold revenge has been served (Woah ho oh) And I'm freezing alone (Woah ho oh) For reasons unknown She came after me with a pocket knife Stuck here in a dream Nightmare of my life Nothing left to do Just sit there and scream Wake up next to you and try to go back to sleep And try to go back to sleep And try to go back to sleep
