He didn’t come home till the light of the day   He wasn’t with her he would say   They fought through the morning and all of the day   She’d have to kill him to get him to stay      Killing him didn’t make the love go away   Killing him didn’t make the love go away   Killing him didn’t make the love go away   Killing him didn’t make the love go away      She gave him everything that she had   Changed anything he said was bad      Love weighed on her heart like marble stone   Flash of the knife, he was gone   Said he would give her the sun and the moon   Now all she has is this eight-by-eight room      Killing him didn’t make the love go away   Killing him didn’t make the love go away   Killing him didn’t make the love go away   Killing him didn’t make the love go away      She thought of him every night and all of the day   Missing the baby she did away   Blowing kisses to the concrete sky   Hoping they’d reach him in heaven high      Love weighed on her heart like marble stone   Flash of the knife, he was gone   Said he would give her the sun and the moon   Now all she has is this eight-by-eight room
