I confess, there's a chance
|
I cannot fake it any longer
|
I admit, this could be it
|
there's a danger I'm going under
|
I know that yesterday
|
you saw me stronger than the sun
|
Then one cold word from you
|
and swiftly I've come undone
|
|
And your love's killing me slowly
|
Killing me one day at a time
|
Killing me slowly
|
It's the sweetest suicide
|
it's the sweetest suicide
|
|
Killing me slowly
|
|
Your firm hand on the door
|
my brave little foot keeping it open
|
My whole self on the line
|
there's a danger I might get broken
|
Slip your pill under my tongue
|
and willingly I succumb
|
Cup my heart in your palm
|
and squeeze it 'til the red stuff runs
|
|
And your love's killing me slowly
|
Killing me one day at a time
|
Killing me slowly
|
It's the sweetest suicide
|
it's the sweetest suicide
|
|
Killing me slowly
|
|
For a moment there
|
you know I almost fooled myself
|
Into thinking I was in control of how I felt
|
Striving towards salvation
|
clutching my last drop of dignity
|
Go on take the pillow
|
smother me, smother me
|
|
And your love's killing me slowly
|
Killing me one day at a time
|
Killing me slowly
|
It's the sweetest suicide
|
it's the sweetest suicide
|
