I don't mind the abuse
It fills in time
When I'm not much use
But it's killing me, killing me slowlyThey all say
I'm too restless
But words cut deep
When you're defenceless
And they're killing me, but killing me slowlyThere was a time when we were fine
And I could tolerate you
I do believe that you should leave
'Cause I've grown to hate you
Should I be weak and turn my cheek
'Cause I'm scared to fall
But I just don't know you
And you don't know me at allI've been told that love's a celebration
But I've lost faith through frustration
And it's killing me, but killing me slowlyYou paint my picture black
The joke's on me
And I don't wanna laugh
Remember the good times
Won't you bring them back someday, somehowI don't mind feeling blue
If I could smile just like you do
And it's killing me, killing me slowlyI can't go on alone
Pretending nothing's wrong
Maybe I just want to belong
Somewhere, somehow, somehow
