How You Kill Me - KT Tunstall

How you kill me

I keep filling up with greatness

Find myself dumping it roadside

Where no one can see me

Love give me somewhere to breathe

How you kill me

Taking up all of my patience

Leaving my temper a widow

But I don’t feel like grieving

Should I swim into the sun?

Meet you there

In the half-light

How you kill me

Lifting me up to those branches

Letting me look on the world

And just as I sing like a bird you

You shoot me down for your fun

Can you spare this one?

I’m taken by an undertow

I’m covered in your spell from head to toe

It’s paying out the dividends

But everything will be nothing in the end

And I know that everything’s right with me

So come tell me just why it seems to kill me?

How you kill me

Lifting me up to those branches

Letting me look on the world

And just as I sing like a bird you

You shoot me down for your fun

Can you spare this one?
