Killer

I am a killer — that’s the truth I wear
I kill the people around me, slowly, unaware
They suffer from the life I chose to live
From every broken promise I couldn’t give

No blood on my hands, no knife in sight
But every word I fail to say cuts deep at night
My chaos spills into their days
My ruin spreads in quiet ways

I am the worst killer of them all
I kill the ones who love me most
They gave me everything they had
And instead of love, I kill them instead

They tried to save me, tried to stay
I dragged them down anyway
My bad habits, my endless wars
Turned their hope into open sores

I am the worst killer of them all
I kill the ones who love me most
They gave me everything they had
And instead of love, I kill them instead

I don’t pull the trigger
I pull away
I don’t strike the body
I rot the faith

I am the worst killer of them all
I kill the ones who love me most
They gave me everything they had
And instead of love, I kill them instead
