You drifted away, but she wanted to stay.
Even though she knows his feelings will never change.
She waits and she waits just to hear her name
and those three words that mean everything.
But deep down she's aware that
That's something that'll never reach her ear.
And deep down she's aware that
That's something that she'll never live to hear.
So go ahead and kill me
As long as he's safe.
And go ahead and shoot me
As long as I can see his face when I'm gone.
She sees his face everyday.
And maybe one day he'll say, "I've always felt that way."
But deep down she's aware that
That's something she'll never live to hear
And deep down she's aware that
Those words will never reach her ear
So go ahead and kill me
As long as he's safe.
And go ahead and shoot me
As long as I can see his face when I'm gone, when I'm gone
I forget about you over the weekend.
Decide that I'm over it,
But the second I see your face again
It's like the match was re-lit
I forget about you over the weekend.
Decide that I'm over it,
But the second I see your face again
It's like the match was re-lit
So go ahead and kill me
As long as he's safe.
And go ahead and shoot me
As long as I can see his face when I'm gone.
