  • They'll never find the body
    She didn't leave a trace
    You'd never know she's guilty
    Judging by the smile on her face
    But ain't nobody seen him
    Tthe case has gone cold
    It ain't much of a secret when everybody knows

    She killed the man
    I swear she did
    And she's gonna get away with it
    Ain't on the run, but there's evidence
    You know she left some fingerprints
    People say I look like him but act completely different
    She buried him, married me
    She killed the man I used to be

    She knew what she was doing
    It didn't even hurt
    Now there's flowers growing where there used to be just dirt
    I know he ain't coming back
    No, it ain't a shallow grave
    He closed his eyes, he saw the light
    Now he's in a better place

    She killed the man
    I swear she did
    And she's gonna get away with it
    Ain't on the run, but there's evidence
    You know she left some fingerprints
    Yeah, people say I look like him but act completely different
    She buried him, married me
    She killed the man I used to be

    Yeah, put him out of his misery

    She killed the man
    I swear she did
    And she's gonna get away with it
    Ain't on the run, but there's evidence
    You know she left some fingerprints
    Yeah, people say I look like him but act completely different
    She buried him, married me
    She killed the man I used to be
    I used to be

    She killed the man, she killed the man
    She killed the man, she killed the man
    She killed the man, she killed the man
    She killed the man, she killed the man Writer/s: Chandler Blane Baldwin, Jared Conrad, Michael Whitworth, Troy Cartwright
