Lyrics

Sweetest Kill

I thought you were the sweetest kill
Did I even know?
And all the time we thought we did
Was it just for show?

If they try to pull you out
Would you even go?
I thought you were the sweetest kill
Did you even know?

I held your hand until the light
The scars were on the back
And all the time we were the right
Was it just retract?

And they can try to put you down, wear you out
Get you through the idea of the luck
I thought you were the sweetest kill
Did we even know?
All the time, we get by, tryna figure out our lives
Like a fade out
All the time, we get by, tryna figure out our lives
Like a fade out

When we took the level ten
Was it just a twelve?
And when we went to where we've been
Was it just for self?
And they can try to wear you down, put you out
Get you through your will that won't work
I thought you were the sweetest kill
Could I even know?

All the time, we get by, tryna figure out our lives
Like a fade out
All the time, we get by, tryna figure out our lives
Like a fade out
All the time, we get by, tryna figure out our lives
Like a fade out
All the time, we get by, tryna figure out our lives
Like a fade out

I break you through this world

I break you through this world

Let me break you through this world

Can I break you through this world?
