lyrics

If I had a knife
I could trim away all of Bobby's insecurities
The pain inside
that brings out all these drunken nights and felonies
He wouldn't enable me to fail
I wouldn't have to pay his bail
He once was such a showman
Now I feel like I don't know him anymore

If I had a knife
I would trim away all of Bobby's insecurities
I wouldn't have to hide
When they hound me with his constant infidelities
I wouldn't have to wear these sunglasses
I wouldn't be surrounded by these jackasses
It's all champagne and cocaine
and trying to explain why he's not here

If my mother was still alive
she's slap me upside the head
And I'd make a scene
as I often do
though I know it's true
I know it's true

If I had a knife
I could trim away all of Bobby's insecurities
He'd change his life
He would only be addicted to his family
He's past the point of no return
I don't think he'll ever learn
That I love him still
more than he ever will
