killing me slowly

killing me, killing me, killing me slowly, i built these walls to hide my ghosts, your fingers trace the wounds exposed, i try and try to let you in, but i fail again and again, so i keep you at arm's length and let you go, but i don't wanna give you away, yeah i keep you at arm's length and let you go, but only if you promise to stay, you think you know that you know, but you really don't know me, i know you love so hard, and it's killing me slowly, and now i can't eat, can't sleep, knowing that you're not lonely, i know you love so hard, and it's killing me slowly, killing me, killing me, killing me slowly, i run this maze, erase my steps, with lips that lie, with every breath, you try and try to let me in, but i hurt you again and again, so i keep you at arm's length and let you go, but i don't wanna give you away, yeah i keep you at arm's length and let you go, but only if you promise to stay, you think you know that you know, but you really don't know me, i know you love so hard, and it's killing me slowly, and now i can't eat, can't sleep, knowing that you're not lonely, i know you love so hard, and it's killing me slowly, killing me slowly, you're everything i need, i should have known, i should have known, you're everything i need, i should have known, you're everything i need, i should have known, i should have known, you're everything i need, i should have known, you think you know that you know, but you really don't know me, i know you love so hard, and it's killing me slowly, and now i can't eat, can't sleep, knowing that you're not lonely, i know you love so hard, and it's killing me slowly, you're everything i need, i should have known, you're everything i need, i should have known,
