I confess, there's a chanceI cannot fake it any longerI admit, this could be itthere's a danger I'm going underI know that yesterdayyou saw me stronger than the sunThen one cold word from youand swiftly I've come undoneAnd your love's killing me slowlyKilling me one day at a timeKilling me slowlyIt's the sweetest suicideit's the sweetest suicideKilling me slowlyYour firm hand on the doormy brave little foot keeping it openMy whole self on the linethere's a danger I might get brokenSlip your pill under my tongueand willingly I succumbCup my heart in your palmand squeeze it 'til the red stuff runsAnd your love's killing me slowlyKilling me one day at a timeKilling me slowlyIt's the sweetest suicideit's the sweetest suicideKilling me slowlyFor a moment thereyou know I almost fooled myselfInto thinking I was in control of how I feltStriving towards salvationclutching my last drop of dignityGo on take the pillowsmother me, smother meAnd your love's killing me slowlyKilling me one day at a timeKilling me slowlyIt's the sweetest suicideit's the sweetest suicide
