Lyrics

KILLING ME SLOWLY

She was striking from a distance,
Harder hitting close by.
She broke down my resistance
In the blink of an eye.

The mighty and the lowly
Play at love’s game;
I swear by all that’s holy
I’m not to blame;
I swear by all that’s holy
I’m not to blame;
But she’s killing me slowly,
Killing me just the same.

We stumbled from love at first sight
To looking the other way;
From the bright lights to a night light
In a matter of days.

The mighty and the lowly
Play at love’s game;
I swear by all that’s holy
I’m not to blame;
I swear by all that’s holy
I’m not to blame;
But she’s killing me slowly,
Killing me just the same.

Guess our love story’s about played out;
No wrongs left to show and tell.
Purgatory’s a halfway house
Along the road to Hell.

The mighty and the lowly
Play at love’s game;
I swear by all that’s holy
I’m not to blame;
I swear by all that’s holy
I’m not to blame;
But she’s killing me slowly,
Killing me just the same.

She won’t take this to divorce court;
Here’s what she’ll do instead:
File a missing person’s report
While I’m still in her bed.

The mighty and the lowly
Play at love’s game;
I swear by all that’s holy
I’m not to blame;
I swear by all that’s holy
I’m not to blame;
But she’s killing me slowly,
Killing me just the same.
She’s killing me slowly;
Killing me just the same.
She’s killing me slowly.
