I confess, there's a chance

I cannot fake it any longer

I admit, this could be it

there's a danger I'm going under

I know that yesterday

you saw me stronger than the sun

Then one cold word from you

and swiftly I've come undone



And your love's killing me slowly

Killing me one day at a time

Killing me slowly

It's the sweetest suicide

it's the sweetest suicide



Killing me slowly



Your firm hand on the door

my brave little foot keeping it open

My whole self on the line

there's a danger I might get broken

Slip your pill under my tongue

and willingly I succumb

Cup my heart in your palm

and squeeze it 'til the red stuff runs



And your love's killing me slowly

Killing me one day at a time

Killing me slowly

It's the sweetest suicide

it's the sweetest suicide



Killing me slowly



For a moment there

you know I almost fooled myself

Into thinking I was in control of how I felt

Striving towards salvation

clutching my last drop of dignity

Go on take the pillow

smother me, smother me



And your love's killing me slowly

Killing me one day at a time

Killing me slowly

It's the sweetest suicide

it's the sweetest suicide
