I wrote this song after I learned Drop D guitar tuning. Lyrically, I just loved writing angsty teenage love songs and this pretty much falls in line with that stuff.

Lyrics

She spoke to me in a voice unmatched.
She said she loved me like no one had.
But we fought intensely, as lovers do.
But as the stars explode in the night, baby, we will too.

So when you kill me in the end, please kill me gently.
Stab me with care and save my dignity.
Then face me up so I can see the heavens.
Don't forget to say a prayer for me.

Time passes quickly as time tends to do.
Dangerous indifference grows within you.
The high cost of leaving is too much to pay.
Being alone when a new day dawns is what makes you stay.

So when you kill me once again, please kill me gently.
Stab me with care and please don't make me bleed.
I gave everything you ever wanted.
Now I know, I can't give you what you need.

I sit back and watch you as you slowly pull away.
I die inside a little more each day.
I'm just waiting for the pain to come and hope to see the morning sun.
I'm waiting for the hammer to fall so you can come and end it all!

So when you kill me for the last time, kill me gently.
Strangle me with care as you take away my breath.
I've known heaven and hell, the pleasure and pains of living.
Now I know what it means to be loved to death.
