Oh it's choking me to death

I can hardly catch my breath

It happens when I think of you

And I think it always will

Every day that passes by

It's just one more way to die

Lord knows I'd be gone now on

If a broken heart could kill



Why didn't you just take a gun

And shoot me where I stood?

And put an end to this misery

For good



But you know, I'm still alive

And somehow I will survive

But Lord knows I'd be cold and still

If a broken heart could kill



Why didn't you just take a gun

And shoot me where I stood?

Lord knows if I had the nerve enough

I would



But you know, I'm still alive

And somehow I will survive

But Lord knows I'd be cold and still

If a broken heart could kill
