I don't mind the abuse

It fills in time when I'm not much use

But it's killing me, killing me slowly

They all say I'm too restless

But words cut deep when you're defenceless

And they're killing me, but kiling me slowly



There was a time when we were fine and I could tolerate you

I do believe that you should leave 'cos I've grown to hate you

Should I be weak and turn my cheek 'cos I'm scared to fall

But I just don't know you and you don't know me at all



I've been told that love's a celebration

But I've lost faith through frustration

And it's killing me, but killing me slowly



You paint my picture black, the joke's on me

And I don't wanna laugh

Remember the good times

Won't you bring them back someday, somehow



I don't mid feeling blue

If I could smile just like you do

And it's killing me, killing me slowly



I can't go on alone pretending nothing's wrong

Maybe I just want to belong somewhere, somehow, somehow



Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ..
