Your Love Kills

Your Love Kills
© 2008 Martha Ann Brooks

Long ago there were those who just used me
Didn’t put me down or abuse me
Their biggest crime was they simply didn’t care
I give them my heart and they took it
I played a poor part and I looked it
With “Young and Foolish” stamped across my head

I thought the memories were gone but they’d come back and taunt me
Catch me when I was alone
Then Fate led me to experience your special deadly skill
Aw Baby your love kills

Your love kills negative emotion
Your love rocks me on an ocean of happiness and bliss
It’s truly for real
Your love kills Your love kills

There are things in my past I don’t relish
Bits and pieces I cannot cherish
Like to crush ‘em, flush ‘em
Make ‘em disappear
The time is long gone for excuses
Say’n it’s this or that is plain useless
I see it all - the role I chose is clear

I thought I could just pretend that bad things never happened (to me)
That way held no remedy
Then I met you and found the cure for all my bitter pills
Aw Baby your love kills

Your love kills negative emotion
Your love rocks me on an ocean of happiness and bliss
It’s truly for real
Your love kills Your love kills
