[Intro]

One, two, three, four


[Verse 1]

You packed your bags and booked a plane

The taxi's taking you away

I know it's just a couple days

A second without you is pain

Maybe I'm just a fool who loves you

When you're here, it's a sunny place

But when you're gone, I can't explain

How everything seems to turn to grey

Even food just loses taste

Maybe I'm just a fool who loves you


[Pre-Chorus]

When we are saying goodbye, you ask me, "Will I miss you?"

Well, I just can't lie, I-I just can't lie


[Chorus]

I'm dyin' alive every time that you leave

'Cause a life without you is not onе I want to live

Kill me slowly, kill me slowly

Though I'll see you again, that don't mеan it don't sting

This is knife-in-the-heart love that we've fallen in

Kill me slowly, kill me slowly


[Verse 2]

The scent of you on the pillowcase

The photo wall that has never changed

Sat on a bed in our little place

I'm still countin' down the days

Maybe I'm just a fool who loves you

Memories are all I got here

Until you call

But whenever I hear your voice

Like you're in this room

Then maybe I'm just a fool who loves you


[Pre-Chorus]

When we are saying goodbye, you ask me, "Will I miss you?"

Well, I just can't lie, I-I just can't lie


[Chorus]

I'm dyin' alive every time that you leave

'Cause a life without you is not one I want to live

Kill me slowly, kill me slowly

Though I'll see you again, that don't mean it don't sting

This is knife-in-the-heart love that we've fallen in

Kill me slowly, kill me slowly


[Bridge]

Ooh, ooh-ooh (Kill me slowly, kill me slowly)

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Kill me slowly, kill me slowly)

Kill me slowly (Kill me slowly, kill me slowly)

Kill me slowly


[Chorus]

Oh, I'm dyin' alive every time that you leave

'Cause a life without you's not one I want to live

Kill me slowly
