[Verse 1] You keep showin' up hurt With your shirt torn wide Sayin' who did this to you With that wild look in your eyes There’s blood on the ledger But your hands ain't clean You been feedin' the fire Then callin' it mean [Pre-Chorus] Every snake got a reason Every cut got a name But if you keep losin' You might be to blame [Chorus] Stop handin' out knives Stop handin' out knives If you keep gettin' cut Stop handin' out knives Stop handin' out knives Stop handin' out knives You can't cry foul With your own blade in his hands [Verse 2] You loaned out your mercy To a man with a grin You let him sleep at your table Then you welcomed him in Now the whole place is talkin' 'Bout the hurt you invite You don't need more enemies You just need better sight [Pre-Chorus] A lesson learned hard Leaves a scar on the palm The trick ain't the anger It's keepin' it from harm [Chorus] Stop handin' out knives Stop handin' out knives If you keep gettin' cut Stop handin' out knives Stop handin' out knives Stop handin' out knives You can't cry foul With your own blade in his hands [Bridge] I know the bruises run deep I know the trust got thin But some doors stay open 'Cause you keep lettin' them in [Final Chorus] Stop handin' out knives Stop handin' out knives If you keep gettin' cut Stop handin' out knives Stop handin' out knives Stop handin' out knives Learn where to set 'em down Before they bury you alive
