"slow death" lyrics

You know how to say the right things
In the right order
And you know how to put the whole world
Right on my shoulders

You're the first thing on my mind the second I close my eyes
Cause I want to see you happy
But the second you decided to make me the cause
It became a bad thing

And I really wanna save it
I really believed I saved you
But I ran in the burning building and got trapped in the room

Loving you's a slow death
I'll never survive it
As much as I want to say I'm yours
You're killing me
Loving you's my funeral
And I wanna deny it
But look at how you're holding me down
You're killing me

Loving you's a slow death

I've got a list of why I take it
A list of excuses
All I've ever wanted was you and
To heal all your bruises

I'm starting to realize I don't know who I am on my own
Cause you say you want me and want the best for me
But I don't think you can have both

Loving you's a slow death
I'll never survive it
As much as I want to say I'm yours
You're killing me
Loving you's my funeral
And I wanna deny it
But look at how you're holding me down
You're killing me

You're killing me
Loving you's a slow, slow, slow death

And it's not that I don't love you
It's that I love you too much
I would have given the world
To delay the end of us
I got so comfortable with
That feeling in my gut
I'd take the medicine
Say I'll give it another month
And every time you broke my heart
It's just a cut
I'd cover up the lies
And now I'm losing blood
Yeah loving you means losing me
Is that what you want?
Is that what you want?

Loving you's a slow death
I'll never survive it
Loving you's my funeral
Look at how you're holding me down
You're killing me
