Sweet Despair lyrics

[Verse 1]

Tell me, what do you see in her?

'Cause I've been living in sweet despair

[Pre-Verse]

I don't really know what's in the cards of life

All I really know is my tears won't dry tonight

[Verse 2]

Love was hidden within' your smoke

Blinding lights and disheartened hope

[Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh

One mistake is all it really takes

To take my breath away

Go on, put the knife in

Run away, don't need you anyway

Although I wish you'd stay

Go on, put the knife in

You've been foolish

And I've been stupid

Go-oh-oh

One mistake is all it really takes

To take my breath away

Go on, put the knife in

[Verse 3]

I hear voices inside my head

Something's different inside this bed (Inside this bed)

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't really know what's in the cards of life

All I really know is my tears won't dry tonight

[Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh

One mistake is all it really takes

To take my breath away

Go on, put the knife in

Run away, don't need you anyway

Although I wish you'd stay

Go on, put the knife in

You've been foolish

And I've been stupid

Go-oh-oh

One mistake is all it really takes

To take my breath away

Go on, put the knife in

[Bridge]

I'll be crying, you'll be screaming, we'll come crumbling down

Just the thought of you and I another face in the crowd

I'd rather wake up in an empty house than this battle ground

I'm on my own now, I'm on my own now

You'll be sorry, I won't worry, I'm okay with it now

Just remember what you did and how it didn't work out

I'd rather wake up in an empty house than this battle ground

You're on your own now, you're on your own now

[Breakdown]

One mistake is all it really takes

To take my breath away

Go on, put the knife in

[Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh

One mistake is all it really takes

To take my breath away

Go on, put the knife in

Run away, don't need you anyway

Although I wish you'd stay

Go on, put the knife in

You've been foolish

And I've been stupid

Go-oh-oh

One mistake is all it really takes

To take my breath away

Go on, put the knife in
