about

A story I was told about a couple when I was staying in East Nashville. She'd tell him it's over, then calls him the very same night pleading with him to come back.. He gives in every time.. and knows that her indecision is killing him slowly

lyrics

Woke up hungover from a night on you
Stumbled out of bed to your back door
Keep rerunning those last words you said
That you "didn't want this anymore"

That's how we left it
Last time 
But I always seem to find my way back in to your life 
And it's killing me, slowly
 
Sitting on my porch smoking a -fuck you- cigarette 
Tortured by the memories I try so hard to forget 
You call me up that night 
And say that we ain't done just yet
Then I'm running back to you again 

I say to the mirror, "this is the last time"
But you always somehow make me change my damn mind
Steal my heart, smash it apart 

I want out of this somehow
I want out, of us 
I thought that I could handle 
A girl like you but I can't
Can you see
That you're killing me slowly

Looking at you sleeping
As we're lying in your bed 
And you'll be lying to yourself when I leave 
Saying you'll be moving on to someone else instead 
Who won't just give in to all your needs

Well I could drink my self blind
But I'd still walk right behind you
Picking up the pieces of our lives 

And if that ain't enough 
I'll deny your love’s a drug
And I’m an addict
And it's killing me slowly 

Well I want out 
Of this somehow
I want out of you and me 
I thought I could handle 
A girl like you but I can't 
Can't you see
That you're killing me slowly
Your gonna be the end of me, girl

Killing me slowly
