Killing Me Slowly Lyrics
Killing me
Killing me
Killing me slowly
I built these walls to hide my ghosts
Your fingers trace the wounds exposed
I try and try to let you in
But I fail again and again
So I keep you at arm's length and let you go
But I don't wanna give you away
Yeah I keep you at arm's length and let you go
But only if you promise to stay
You think you know that you know
But you really don't know me
I know you love so hard
And it's killing me slowly
And now I can't eat, can't sleep
Knowing that you're not lonely
I know you love so hard
And it's killing me slowly
Killing me
Killing me
Killing me slowly
I run this maze, erase my steps
With lips that lie, with every breath
You try and try to let me in
But I hurt you again and again
So I keep you at arm's length and let you go
But I don't wanna give you away
Yeah I keep you at arm's length and let you go
But only if you promise to stay
You think you know that you know
But you really don't know me
I know you love so hard
And it's killing me slowly
And now I can't eat, can't sleep
Knowing that you're not lonely
I know you love so hard
And it's killing me slowly
Killing me slowly
You're everything I need
I should have known, I should have known
You're everything I need
I should have known
You're everything I need
I should have known, I should have known
You're everything I need
I should have known
You think you know that you know
But you really don't know me
I know you love so hard
And it's killing me slowly
And now I can't eat, can't sleep
Knowing that you're not lonely
I know you love so hard
And it's killing me slowly
You're everything I need
I should have known
(Killing me)

I think this is about being in love with someone who doen't realize that you're poison to them. You know if you don't let them go, it will ultimately prove to be the death of both of you in the end.
The lyrics are referring to the feeling you get when your crush is dating someone who isn't you. Sadly, we've all related to this at some point. Lol
So, this is the song, I’ve been listening to and mainly it’s about well you’re other who loves someone else. And he can’t let her or him go and he’s hurting a lot “he can’t eat” can’t “sleep” that could also, be anxiety. But this song is so relatable because, I went through this recently.
To me, it sounds like a guy that had a girl who cared more than he did. Maybe he wasn't emotionally available at the time so she left. Now that she's moved on, he is regretting ever letting her go. And he realizes everything he had a little too late.
