Slow Death

Slow death to me and my best friend

I pledged allegiance ’til the end

Gave everything I had, a naive kid

But it hurts too much to care in the way that I did

Slow death to everything I said

I’d rather love myself instead

You told me you were shocked by how I’d changed

I promise that you would’ve done the same

I had to kill my heart before it killed me

They called it calculated murder in the first degree

We dragged it out for long enough

Dressed it up and called it love

But it was just a slow death

Slow death to who I used to be

No one prepares you for the moment when you see

How everything around you starts to change in ways you can’t explain

And after all we lost that day

I swore I’d never feel again

And I killed my heart before it killed me

They called it calculated murder in the first degree

We dragged it out for long enough

Dressed it up, called it love

But it was just a slow death
