If It Kills Me Lyrics

Tonight I'm so sky high
I can only see one star in the sky
Wanna get closer, put your name on it
Lift me up so I can reach it
If I do just one thing with my life
I'll get the truth for you tonight
'Cos there's more to me than my twisted side
I'll get the truth for you tonight
There are still things that I wanna do
There are still places that I wanna see
Find a hidden corner I can take you to
I've been around the world but it's seen right through me
And if I do just one thing with my life
I'll get the truth for you tonight
'Cos there's more to me than this twisted side
I'll get the truth for you tonight
If it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
Tonight I'm so sky high
I can only see one star in the sky
Wanna get closer, put your name on it
Lift me up so I can reach it
And if I do just one thing with my life
I'll get the truth for you tonight
'Cos there's more to me than this twisted side
I'll get the truth for you tonight
If it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

that's a more edgy kind of song, the lyrics are 'violently happy' (to give some credits to bjork...) and I like that. Isn't it a love song? A highly adrenaline-driven affair, or something like that? It's a rush, it's passion, it's all or nothing. I like it very much.

To me it sounds like the protagonist of the song is this kind of bad guy, but he genuinly (or at least he says so) is in love with this girl and he wants to prove it to her, that's why he says he wants to hang her name up upon a star. He says that even though he has a twisted side, there's more to him and he wants to show her, whatever it takes (hence the "if it kills me" part).
