I don't mind the abuse
  It fills in time
  When I'm not much use
  But it's killing me, killing me slowly
    They all say
  I'm too restless
  But words cut deep
  When you're defenceless
  And they're killing me, but killing me slowly
    There was a time when we were fine
  And I could tolerate you
  I do believe that you should leave
  'cos I've grown to hate you
  Should I be weak and turn my cheek
  'cos I'm scared to fall
  But I just don't know you
  And you don't know me at all
    I've been told that love's a celebration
  But I've lost faith through frustration
  And it's killing me, but killing me slowly
    You 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, somehow
    I don't mind feeling blue
  If I could smile just like you do
  And it's killing me, killing me slowly
    I can't go on alone
  Pretending nothing's wrong
  Maybe I just want to belong
  Somewhere, somehow, somehow
