Knife Song Lyrics

Baby, it's such a shame you aggravate me
Will this all be in vain
Maybe, I can't be sure of anything you say
You're devious and vain
Don't treat me like the fool I'm not
You'll miss me when you're gone
Oh yes you will
Oh yes you will....

Jamie, it's such a shame you disappoint me
Will this all be in vain
Maybe, I can't be sure of anything I say
I'm insecure and vain
Don't treat me like the fool I'm not
I'll miss you when you're gone
Oh yes you will
Oh yes you will...

Rain falls, Glazing my face, it hits my lips a bitter taste - of what I might become
Train pawn, takes me away to etherness and otherness - there's madness on my tongue
Don't treat me like the fool I'm not
We'll miss this when you're gone
Oh yes you will
Oh yes you will...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
