[Verse 1: Sasha Keable]
What has your heart been like?
It used to spend weeks on my mind
But it's been seven months of these lies
You know it hasn't felt right
[Refrain: Sasha Keable]
I need to be loved by myself
Before I'll love someone else
And that's not you
That's not you anymore
[Verse 2: Jorja Smith]
I'm just tryna live with myself
And you have to do that as well
My heart aches to see you like this
Pretending it's me that you'll miss
You need to be loved by yourself
It's okay to ask for help
But not from me
Not from me anymore, oh, oh
[Refrain: Sasha Keable & Jorja Smith]
I need to be loved by myself
It's okay to ask for help
Not from you, not from you anymore
[Verse 3: Sasha Keable & Jorja Smith]
I started to take my advice
I'm still stayin' out late at night
But now I'm not worried 'bout fights
Or if I've said something you don't like
Just being in love with myself
With you it was something else
You're not for me, me
[Chorus: Jorja Smith, Sasha Keable, Both]
I couldn't take it no more
Let me free, I'll close the door
It was killing me, it was killing me, it was killing me
Now, I can see what was left
It weighs heavy on my chest
It was killing me, it was killing me, it was killing me
[Bridge: Jorja Smith, Sasha Keable, Both]
Now that we've said our goodbyes
I see you in all that's alive
Your voice still haunts me at night
But this time it don't make me cry (Cry, cry)
Just tryna be real with myself
Love can sometimes hurt like hell
Just let it be, just let it be, just let it be
[Chorus: Jorja Smith, Sasha Keable, Both]
I couldn't take it no more
Let me free, I'll close the door
It was killing me, it was killing me, it was killing me
Now, I can see what was left
It weighs heavy on my chest
It was killing me, it was killing me, it was killing me
[Outro: Sasha Keable & Jorja Smith]
I need to be loved by myself
Before I'll love someone else
And that's not you
That's not you anymore
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Ah-ah-ah (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh), ah-ah-ah

Jorja and I were long overdue to write together, so we met up at Ben’s (our guitarist) house who wrote “Killing Me” with us and in four incredible hours we had the song, it was mad how easily it came. We had both gone through difficult breakups and were clearly done with how we were feeling. “Killin...
Jorja and I really wanted this video to be reflective of a real traditional duet, and Olivia (the director) did just that. We actually used Beyoncé and Shakira ‘Beautiful Liar’ as a reference; we wanted the styling to be same same but different, respecting both our individual styles but allowing fle...
