“Not Gonna Kill You” is the fifth track off of Angel Olsen’s third full-length album My Woman.
This song tells us about the fear we feel about doing something or about what awaits us in the future. Somehow, Angel Olsen tries to tell us that we should not fear and that we will not die by waiting or...
My watch is blurry when I look down at my hands
I'm just another, alive with impossible plans
I turn the lights low but we both know where we are
And when it's over, what becomes of your pure heart?
A love that never seems to curse or to confine
Will be forever never lost or too defined
To lose the feeling of an endless searching through-out
To help meet what is never about me or you
That is the kind of love I'd always dreamed to be
However painful, let it break down all of me
'Til I am nothing else but the feeling
'Til I am nothing else but the feeling
Becoming true
Becoming true
Can't help feeling the way that I do
Can't help feeling the way that I do
Become a prophet
Become a fool
Or let the light shine in
Oh, let the light shine in
Or let the light shine in
May the best of you win
Who is your truest friend?
Are they there at your end?
Oh, let the light be bled
And let some tears be shed
Do it all over again
Oh, let the light shine in
It's not gonna kill you, it's not gonna kill you
It's not gonna kill you, it's not gonna kill you
It's not gonna break you, it's just gonna shake you
Shake you alive
Baby
Oh, baby
Oh, let the light shine in
Oh, let the light shine in
Oh, let the light shine in
May the best of you win
