So you think that you found
A better life that you should live
And you're through givin' it all away
I wish there's somethin' I could say
Like the time you looked into the mirror
And saw someone else lookin' back
I wish I could find the words
But there's nothin' that even comes close
'Cause there ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right through me
There ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right by me
And you can't go on when the knife feels like justice
Oh, whoa, whoa
When the sun lies down and the air grows cold
And the moon plays tricks in the night
Ooh, crawlin' low like a snake out of sight
Your guide is the Northern Light
You wanna laugh, say I'm insane
Don't have the sense to come in from the rain
I know how to keep myself between the drops
There ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right through me
There ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right by me
And you can't go on when the knife feels like justice
Slip away
Slip away
Slip away
So you think that you've won me over
By settin' me on fire
With the sound of your beatin' heart
And you're burnin' hot desire
Like the time I looked at your reflection
And saw someone else lookin' back
It's a shame things happen that way
'Cause there's no one that even comes close
And there ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right through me
There ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right by me
And you can't go on when the knife feels like justice
I said you can't go on when the blade tears inside you, yes
You can't go on when the knife feels like justice
