Working for the Knife Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I cry at the start of every movie
I guess ’cause I wish I was making things, too
But I’m working for the knife
[Verse 2]
I used to think I would tell stories
But nobody cared for the stories I had about
No good guys
[Verse 3]
I always knew the world moves on
I just didn’t know it would go without me
I start the day high and it ends so low
‘Cause I’m working for the knife
[Verse 4]
I used to think I’d be done by twenty
Now at twenty-nine, the road ahead appears the same
Though maybe at thirty, I’ll see a way to change
That I’m living for the knife
[Verse 5]
I always thought the choice was mine
And I was right, but I just chose wrong
I start the day lying and end with the truth
That I’m dying for the knife
Working for the Knife Lyrics (Spanish)
[Verso 1]
Lloro al inicio de cada película
Supongo que es porque desearía estar haciendo cosas también
Pero estoy trabajando por el cuchillo
[Verso 2]
Solía pensar que contaría historias
Pero a nadie le importaban las historias que sabía sobre
Chicos no buenos
[Verso 3]
Siempre supe que el mundo sigue adelante
Simplemente no sabía que lo haría sin mí
Empiezo el día en lo alto y termina tan bajo
Porque estoy trabajando por el cuchillo
[Verso 4]
Solía pensar que terminaría a los 20
Ahora a los 29 el camino delante parece igual
Aunque tal vez a los 30 veré una manera de cambiar
Que estoy viviendo por el cuchillo
[Verso 5]
Siempre pensé que la decisión era mía
Y estaba en lo correcto, pero simplemente elegí mal
Empiezo el día mintiendo y termino con la verdad
Que estoy muriendo por el cuchillo
