Death of Me

You're gonna be the death of me

I tried too hard

I tried too long

I gave too much

I got it wrong

Each time you leave

You take what's left of me

Oh! This is the death of me, slow and cruel

Proving my worth, just made me your fool

I bled for a maybe, died for a chance

Now I drown in the silence of circumstance

You took the calm

You left me doubt

You pulled me close

Then shut me out

Oh, each time you speak

You take the life out of me

This is the death of me, sad and slow

A grin at the gallows, got nowhere to go

I knelt for approval, I begged just to be

But love became war, and war buried me

If love needs reminders

Then what have we been

It feels like a script with no ending

A loop that's wearing thin

You left me cold

You left me still

You left me asking

If love can kill

The death of me

The death of me
