Spitting Daggers Songtext

von Sparrow and the Workshop

Your heart was a game I used to play
But your face fades away
And I'm losing faith in my desire
To piece you back together

But suddenly now you're back to haunt my mind
And fuel my cruel side
Why here, why this time
I'm settled in my life
And loving what I've got.

Words are daggers in your mouth
You spit hard and knock me down
Thicker skin would hold you back but I've been weak
And memories of cuts you've made
Have never really healed

You saved everything I ever made
And you threw it in my face
And you said you never would forget
But now you've changed your mind.
And furious fights and guilt trips were rife
As thrilling as it was the thrill has lost its charm
And mirrors and smoke have shattered and gone
Beyond us in a rage and saved me from a big mistake

Words are daggers in your mouth
You spit hard and knock me down
Memories have kept them warm
And now you're here
I raise my head
And spit them back
As fast
As you
Can run.
