Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Murder machines
Fragments of life
Too small to see
[Verse 2]
Don't know we're only human
A planet there for using
Take their cells and multiply
Until it dies
[Verse 3]
I put my arms around her
I put my arms around her
I put my arms around her
And I killed her with love
I killed her with love
I killed her
[Verse 4]
Tested positive
No antibodies
No vaccine, no escape
[Verse 5]
Don't know we're only human
A planet there for using
Take their cells and multiply until it dies
[Verse 6]
I put my arms around him
I put my arms around him
I put my arms around him
And I killed him with love
I killed him with love
I killed him with love
[Verse 7]
I reached out
I never thought
An innocent act
Only a kiss
[Verse 8]
She put her arms around him
She put her arms around him
She put her arms around him
And she killed me
[Verse 9]
She put put her arms around me
She put put her arms around me
She put put her arms around me
And she killed me with love
She killed me with love
She killed me with love
She killed me with love
(She killed me with love)
