Killing Me Lyrics

If I break down what would it take for you to see
That I have been left empty inside
From the scars that I have made
Cause you don't know what I've been through
All of the time that I spent waiting for you
I have locked it inside and now it's killing me
How would you feel if I told you things would never be the same
How would you feel if I told you things would never go away
What would it take for you to understand
You don't know me
What would it take for you to realize that you don't know what
I've been through
All of the time that I spent waiting for you
I have locked it inside and now it's killing me
How would you feel if I told you things would never be the same
How would you feel if I told you things would never go away
How would you feel if I told you it's inside of me
How would you feel if I told you this was killing me
I know we'll never escape from this
Running as fast as we can
I know we'll never escape from this
Running as fast as we can to get away
How would you feel if I told you things would never be the same
How would you feel if I told you things would never go away
How would you feel if I told you it's inside of me
How would you feel if I told you this was killing me
This is killing me
Now this is killing me
This is killing me
I said it's killing me

If I break down what would it take for you to see
That I have been left empty inside
From the scars that I have made
Cause you don't know what I've been through
All of the time that I spent waiting for you
I have locked it inside and now it's killing me
How would you feel if I told you things would never be the same
How would you feel if I told you things would never go away
What would it take for you to understand
You don't know me
What would it take for you to realize that you don't know what 
I've been through
All of the time that I spent waiting for you
I have locked it inside and now it's killing me
How would you feel if I told you things would never be the same
How would you feel if I told you things would never go away
How would you feel if I told you it's inside of me
How would you feel if I told you this was killing me
I know we'll never escape from this
Running as fast as we can
I know we'll never escape from this
Running as fast as we can to get away
How would you feel if I told you things would never be the same
How would you feel if I told you things would never go away
How would you feel if I told you it's inside of me
How would you feel if I told you this was killing me
This is killing me
Now this is killing me
This is killing me
I said it's killing 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.
