  • Killing me, killing me
    It's 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 (know me)
    I know you love so hard
    And it's killing me slowly (slowly)

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

    Killing me, killing me
    It's 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 (know me)
    I know you love so hard
    And it's killing me slowly (slowly)

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

    You're everything I need
    I should've known, I should've known
    You're everything I need
    I should've known (should've known)

    You're everything I need
    I should've known, I should've known
    You're everything I need
    I should've known (should've known, should've known, should've known)

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

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

    You're everything I need, I should've known
    (It's killing me, it's killing me, it's killing me slowly)
    You're everything I need, I should've known
    (It's killing me, it's killing me, it's killing me slowly) Writer/s: Drew Fulk, John Arnold Boecklin, Josh Strock, Matt Thomas, Tommy Vext
