"Killing Me" lyrics

"Killing Me"

It's 2 a.m.
Hear the cellular ringin'
Got the curious feeling you're fiendin'
For love, but the thing is
We haven't spoken for weeks
I love you bad
That's the problem occurrin'
Better love I deserve, and I'm hurtin'
But sadly, I worship
Every moment we meet

So you take and you take 'cause you know you can
And I chase as you're chasin' another man
Try to break, see your face and I know that I can't

Oh
You're killing me
You're not makin' it easy
Too busy deceivin' and cheatin'
And lyin' and competin'
To know how lucky you are
You're killing me
I just want you to free me
And though I am cryin' and bleedin'
And barely breathin'
I can't let go of your heart

I take your call
You say, "What's the matter?"
Then you lie to me faster and faster
You're such a good actor
I hear your car in the driveway

Now you're tossin' a rock at my windowpane
Said, "I don't wanna talk, just go away"
But you claw at the locks 'til I let you invade

Oh
You're killing me
You're not makin' it easy
Too busy deceivin' and cheatin'
And lyin' and competin'
To know how lucky you are
You're killing me
I just want you to free me
And though I am cryin' and bleedin'
And barely breathin'
I can't let go of your heart

I wanna die but you keep me alive
You're killing me
You're killing me
I wanna die but you keep me alive
You're killing me
You're killing me
I wanna die but you keep me alive
You're killing me
You're killing me
Fight to survive, oh, love of my life
You're killing me

Oh
You're killing me
You're not makin' it easy
Too busy deceivin' and cheatin'
And lyin' and competin'
To know how lucky you are
You're killing me
I just want you to free me
And though I am cryin' and bleedin'
And barely breathin'
I can't let go of your heart

I wanna die but you keep me alive
You're killing me
You're killing me
I wanna die but you keep me alive
No, I can't let go of your heart
You're killing me


Writer(s): Max Martin, Oscar Thomas Holter, Conan Gray
Conan Gray started to tease "Killing Me" on his social-media accounts since the 28th of September, 2023. The song was officially released on Halloween, the 31st of October, 2023.
Conan Gray was inspired to write this song when he had flu and experienced a heartbreak. He said, "I wrote 'Killing Me' while I was sick with the flu. It was a miserable time where I was both physically sick, but also super heartbroken over somebody. Hence, 'you're KILLING me.' I think we all have those people who don't treat us nearly well enough, but we just can't seem to let them go. People who call you at 2 AM, and who you know you shouldn't pick up, but you do. 'Killing Me' is for when you're on your last limb begging this person to just please stop torturing your heart."
Max Martin produced this single as well as Conan Gray's recent single "Never Ending Song".
