The Kill

You tell me I should run but then you tell me you need me
A lot of places to hide so there's no way you can see me
I wanna swallow my pride but I choke on my own words
You wanna show me your love but forget how to reach me
Tell me what you wanna know
And I'll tell you everything inside
I'll tell you that you are the one for me
Don't try to kill me with your love
Don't kill me with your love
What I don't understand is why I'm here on my own
We were only just talking in the silence of your home
I know you better than yourself, you're the only I know
I follow you through the night like a dog with the scent of your cologne
Tell me what you wanna know
And I'll tell you everything inside
I'll tell you that you are the one for me
Don't try to kill me with your love
Don't kill me with your love
Tell me what you wanna know
And I'll tell you everything inside
I'll tell you that you are the one for me
Don't try to kill me with your love
Don't kill me with your love
I've been waiting my whole life
For someone who makes me feel like you do
It's complicated, I can't lie to you
I've been waiting my whole life
For someone who makes me feel like you do
It's complicated, I can't lie to you
I've been waiting my whole life
For someone who makes me feel like you do
It's complicated, I can't lie to you
I've been waiting my whole life
For someone who makes me feel like you do
It's complicated, I can't lie to you
