This started with me singing along to a song on the radio, then part way through I just started making up my own words. That produced the first verse, so I just ran with it from there. I like verses 1 and 2 a lot better than verse 3, which seems a little clunky comparatively.
Gentle as a knife tearing through your flesh,
she fought with her words and a sharp-edged caress,
appeared as an angel in a fall from grace.
Couldn't act like she loved you, but she'd always say it.
You stayed by her side, through better and worse,
thought being in love meant you were bound to get hurt.
She took you for a fool and you played the part,
always built her up as she tore you apart.
Hard as the truth that finally hit,
you began to see her for what she really is.
You saw the abyss when you looked in her eyes;
but now you can see that there's nothing inside.
