[Verse 1]
Sometimes I ask myself why even bother
It goes in one ear, 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
[Chorus]
Love kills, it hurts me to see you this way
Love kills, it kills me to treat you this way
Love kills, it hurts me to see you this way
Love kills, it kills me to treat you this way
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Love kills, it hurts me to see you this way
Love kills, it kills me to treat you this way
Love kills, it hurts me to see you this way
Love kills, it kills me to treat you this way
[Bridge]
Pock marks and scars adorn your face
It used to be pretty but it's just getting ugly because 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 have 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 'cuz I did it my way, I did it my way
[Chorus]
Love kills, it hurts me to see you this way
Love kills, it kills me to treat you this way
Love kills, it hurts me to see you this way
Love kills, it kills me to treat you this way
Love Kills was written by Keith Clark & Keith Morris & Zander Schloss.
