Lyrics

Killin' Me

[Verse 1]

Like cigarettes and gasoline

I light a match and watch this scene

Burn away in front of me

The ashes of my misery

[Pre-Chorus]

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me

(This life is killin' me)

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me

[Chorus]

And I swear it's killin' me

All our shattered hopes

And our long-dead dreams

The wreckage that we all try to keep

From coming to life

And tearing us apart at the seams

At the seams

[Verse 2]

Sun-bleached bones and withered trees

Slowly rotting just like me

Empty bottles, broken glass

My resolve is fading fast

[Pre-Chorus]

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me

(This life is killin' me)

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me

[Chorus]

And I swear it's killin' me

All our shattered hopes

And our long-dead dreams

The wreckage that we all try to keep

From coming to life

And tearing us apart at the seams

At the seams... At the seams

[Bridge]

I swear sometimes, I can't breathe

So just look away

[Refrain]

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me...

Swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me...

Swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me!

[Chorus]

And I swear it's killin' me

All our shattered hopes

And our long-dead dreams

The wreckage that we all try to keep

From coming to life

And tearing us apart at the seams

At the seams

(I swear it's killin' me)

At the seams...

(All our shattered hopes

And long-dead dreams)

At the seams...

(The wreckage that we all try to keep)

At the seams...

(From coming to life

And tearing us apart at the seams)

[Outro]

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me

(This life is killin' me)

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me

(This life is killin' me)

I swear sometimes, I think this life is killin' me

(This life is killin' me)

I swear it's killin' me! This life is killin' me!
