Love Kills

Sometimes I ask myself why even bother
It goes in one ear and right out the other
Out on a limb, out on the edge, no matter what they say
The pleasure of pain, day after day, day after day

Love kills
And it hurts me to see you this way
Love kills
And it kills me to treat you this way

Each day we rise with the sun in our room
Needles and pills lead us right to our doom, right to our doom
Looking like the tail end of a hurricane
Death warmed over, the rear end of destruction, rear end of destruction

Love kills
And it hurts me to see you this way
Love kills
And it kills me to treat you this way

Love kills
And it hurts me to see you this way
Love kills
And it kills me to treat you this way

Pock marks and scars adorn your face
It used to be pretty but it’s just getting ugly ‘cause you’re getting caught up in a losing race
You’re drowning in a sea of drugs, they pull out the carpet
Look at everything you’ve taken, what’ve you done?

The distance grows, you’re fading away
Disturbed since birth, no way to control you
You took a vow to love me forever
Never say you’re sorry, ‘cause I did it my way, I did it my way

Love kills
And it kills me to treat you this way
Love kills
And it hurts me to see you this way

Love kills
And it kills me to treat you this way
Love kills
And it hurts me to see you this way

Love kills, love kills, love kills, love kills…
