Over the Years You'Ve Killed Me

What will you do when I
Break down and begin to die
That lonely tear would show you

"Is this what you really are?"

What if when I would cry
It's cost me my entire life
Everything I worked for less
Means than I'm the only one
Who ever truly cared enough to 
       cut his own wrists and bleed for 
                the loss you gave me

"What has happened to you?"

My anger has not left
I'm still here and alive
And I am til I show you

"This is what i really am"

Don't you want to
Act like you're playing around
And then when I'm weak
Typically when my guard is down
You'll strike so percise
You won't skip a beat or miss a swing
           of your bloody hands as they're already 
                    KILLING ME

"You have happened to me, Love,
With my own damned hands....you've killed me"
