Verse 1
I poured my soul into your hands,
But you let it slip like falling sand.
Every promise cut me deep,
A love I carried I couldn’t keep.
Pre-Chorus
And I was drowning, but I still believed,
In every lie that you whispered to me.
Chorus
Loving you was killing me,
Bleeding slow, but I couldn’t leave.
Every kiss was a wound I hid,
Every touch just reminded me what you did.
I lost myself so you could breathe,
Loving you was killing me.
Verse 2
I wore my hope like second skin,
Praying someday you’d let me in.
But you built your walls a mile high,
And left me begging at the sky.
Pre-Chorus
I gave you heaven, but you gave me scars,
I burned for you, but you loved in the dark.
Chorus
Loving you was killing me,
Bleeding slow, but I couldn’t leave.
Every kiss was a wound I hid,
Every touch just reminded me what you did.
I lost myself so you could breathe,
Loving you was killing me.
Bridge
I should’ve known the price I’d pay,
That love can break more than it saves.
But even now I ache to see,
The ghost of who I thought you’d be.
Final Chorus
Loving you was killing me,
A silent death no one could see.
I gave my all, you took it free,
Till there was nothing left of me.
Now I’m alive, but finally free,
‘Cause loving you was killing me.
(piano holds on a haunting minor chord, fading into silence)
