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
