Love Is a Killer

Pain, Pain, Pain Carly Button Sit up in his bed and breaks the alarm blood flows to the brain and he tries to stay calm but the pain doesn't go away that quick in the morning even on the inside the rain begins pouring and the lights are off but they're on in the mind Of the man who devoted two years to a lie On his face he feels every kiss, knows every line Bruises on a heart that has grown smaller than mine Eyes that dance with memories hard to forget Black spot on the white page of love and regret No matter how hard he tries, they stay on his mind Images of a happiness it took them years to find Every kiss they stole under the midnight sun Every time he looked at her and said “you’re the one” Spun a dagger of pain that tore at his chest Like a demon that had no reason to rest She would be happier with him, he tried to think He tossed away her picture and poured another drink Who was he kidding, there was no life without her His life was a disease, and there was only one cure So he stepped on the chair with the rope on his neck And wrote a letter to the girl that he could never forget With hands behind his back and a soul done crushing He said goodbye to a world that gave him absolutely nothing.
