How You Kill Me

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? And meet you there In the half light How you kill me Lifting me up to those branches Letting me look on the world 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 He'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 Just as I sing like a bird you You shoot me down for your fun Can you spare this one? --- How You Kill Me - KT Tunstall
