"Killing Me Slowly" lyrics

Killing me
Killing me
Killing me slowly

I built these walls to hide my ghosts
Your fingers trace the wounds exposed
I try and try to let you in
But I fail again and again

So I keep you at arm's length and let you go
But I don't wanna give you away
Yeah I keep you at arm's length and let you go
But only if you promise to stay

You think you know that you know
But you really don't know me
I know you love so hard
And it's killing me slowly

And now I can't eat, can't sleep
Knowing that you're not lonely
I know you love so hard
And it's killing me slowly

Killing me
Killing me
Killing me slowly

I run this maze, erase my steps
With lips that lie, with every breath
You try and try to let me in
But I hurt you again and again

So I keep you at arm's length and let you go
But I don't wanna give you away
Yeah I keep you at arm's length and let you go
But only if you promise to stay

You think you know that you know
But you really don't know me
I know you love so hard
And it's killing me slowly

And now I can't eat, can't sleep
Knowing that you're not lonely
I know you love so hard
And it's killing me slowly
Killing me slowly

You're everything I need
I should have known, I should have known
You're everything I need
I should have known

You're everything I need
I should have known, I should have known
You're everything I need
I should have known

You think you know that you know
But you really don't know me
I know you love so hard
And it's killing me slowly

And now I can't eat, can't sleep
Knowing that you're not lonely
I know you love so hard
And it's killing me slowly

You're everything I need
I should have known
(Killing me)
(Killing me)
(Killing me slowly)
You're everything I need
I should have known
(Killing me)
(Killing me)
(Killing me slowly)
