Loving you was killing me

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.
