KILLING MY SOUL

By LG Olson | 2008

KILLING MY SOUL

(Verse 1)
HOW DO I LET GO, OF SOMETHING I LOST,
SO HARD TO RELEASE,
TO ACCEPT THE FINAL COST.
I KNOW WHAT I WANTED,
I WANTED YOU,
BUT LIFE HITS YOU HARD AND
CUTS YOU STRAIGHT THREW.
TAKE ALL YOU HAVE LEFT AND RUN VERY FAR,
I HOPE THAT ONE DAY,
YOU’LL REGRET THAT NEW SCAR.
BUT THAT NEVER HAPPENS,
NEVER LIKE THIS,
I FEAR THAT I ALONE,
WILL BE THE ONE NOT MISSED.

(Chorus)
SAD IS A HEART WHO LEARNS BY THE DAY,
WHAT ONCE WAS LOVE, NOW IS DECAY.
TEARS ARE REMINDERS OF ALL THAT’S BEEN LOST,
PAIN IN YOUR SOUL, THAT IS THE COST.
SEEING YOURSELF, FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME,
FINDING YOUR EMPTY, YOUR LOVE WAS SO BLIND.
I WISH I KNEW THEN, WHAT I KNOW THIS TIME,
THAT NOTHING IS REAL, JUST IN OUR MINDS.

(Verse 2)
HOLDING SO TIGHTLY FOR THAT ONE SPECIAL SOUL,
CAUSES THE HEARTACHE,
THEN LOSES CONTROL.
TAKE A DEEP BREATH,
MAYBE DREAM ONE MORE TIME,
OF WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AND MIGHT HAVE BEEN MINE.
I OPEN MY EYES AND I STILL SEE YOUR FACE,
I WISH I UNDERSTOOD,
BUT I’VE BEEN REPLACED.
SWALLOW THE SADNESS, YOU STILL NEED TO HIDE,
BRING ON THE MADNESS,
YOU CARRY INSIDE.

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
IT WILL NOT HEAL,
THE WOUNDS ARE TOO DEEP,
FORGET ABOUT PEACE,
I’LL NEVER SLEEP.
FEEL YOURSELF SINKING
BENEATH A NEW WAKE
FEEL THE PAIN
WITH EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE.
HOW I HATE THIS,
A LIFE WITH NO SOUND,
GOING ONLY DEEPER,
STARTING TO DROWN.
I TRY AND REMEMBER
ALL THAT YOU ARE,
STILL DOESN’T HEAL
THAT HORRIBLE SCAR.

(Chorus)

(Verse 4)
I KNOW WHAT I AM,
IT’S ANOTHER MISTAKE,
IT’S THE COST OF HEART
AND THE CRUSH OF THE BREAK.
TAKE ME AWAY FROM ALL OF THIS PAIN,
DON’T LET IT DROWN ME,
FROM HENCE IT HAD CAME.
WALK AWAY QUIETLY,
KEEP SOME OF YOUR PRIDE,
A NOTCH IN A BULLET,
ANOTHER SOULS HIDE.

(Chorus/Outro)
SAD IS A HEART WHO LEARNS BY THE DAY,
WHAT ONCE WAS LOVE, NOW IS DECAY.
TEARS ARE REMINDERS OF ALL THAT’S BEEN LOST,
PAIN IN YOUR SOUL, THAT IS THE COST.
SEEING YOURSELF, FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME,
FINDING YOUR EMPTY, YOUR LOVE WAS SO BLIND.
I WISH I KNEW THEN, WHAT I KNOW THIS TIME,
THAT NOTHING IS REAL, JUST IN OUR MINDS.
PRETEND THAT YOUR HAPPY AND THAT THEY DIDN’T KILL,
WHAT’S LEFT OF YOUR BODY AND PITIFUL WILL.
KNEEL DOWN SOFTLY, BACK TO THE WALL,
CLOSE YOUR EYES TIGHTLY, AND TAKE THAT LAST FALL.
