dead to me Songtext
von avery pickup

i don′t deserve your sympathy
god knows i don't deserve your praise
love, you′ve been too good to me
and i've pushed you away

happiness is dead to me
ambition is a maze
all your diamond promises
they turned out to be fakes

i'm screaming for attention
like a baby in a cot
there′s so much i could mention
there′s so much i forgot

twenty years of intervention
twenty years of trying to stop
oh, it wasn't my intention
i think i′ve already lost
i think i've already lost


killing me, it′s killing me
and i'm holding the gun
i won′t miss, i can't resist
i've only just begun

i could stay, a good wife stays
a better wife walks out
haunting me like the ghosts i see
when i′m in my hometown

i wrote you a letter
one that you′ll never see
i thought i was edgar
and you were annabel lee
(but now you're dead to me)

i thought i was a prophet
some other hostage loves you now
just because i couldn′t stop it
and i'm still having dreams
(still having dreams that you′re around)

i had a vision of the future
it was going up in flames
i used to love you like a killer
(but now i'll take this to the grave)


and i′m still having dreams
(but now you're dead to me)
bursting from the seams
(but now you're dead to me)

it′s sadder than it seems
(but now you′re dead to me)
i'm still having dreams
(but now you′re dead to me)

but i'm lying through my teeth
we had something special
and something special doesn′t leave

it's never dead to me
but i′ll take this chance to tell you
that when you bought me tea
i snuck the cash back in your wallet

i'm sorry
i didn't mean to steal your life
rewrite your legacy
it′s just that mine′s barely alive
and it's something that i need

i′m a killer
i'm a lover
i′m a thief
is this my legacy?
