I killed the kid inside of me this morning
The one that falls in love too soon
I did it without giving any warning
That's what he gets for loving you
And I guess, it's probably for the best
Right before he left, I said to him
I don't want you to die, but it kills me keeping you alive
You fall so hard, then wonder why you bleed
But don't you ever change, I'll say to him as I dig his grave
Someday, someone will love you like you need
But if they want you, they'll have to go through me
If they want you, they'll have to go through me
I killed the kid inside of me last weekend
It's gotten hard to fall asleep
I hear his heart from time to time, still beating
But it's not as loud as used to be
And it's sad, I'll never get him back
But I know that I did what's best for him
I don't want you to die, but it kills me keeping you alive
You fall so hard, then wonder why you bleed
But don't you ever change, I'll say to him as I dig his grave
Someday, someone will love you like you need
But if they want you, they'll have to go through me
If they want you, they'll have to go through me
If they want you, they'll have to go through me, oh
I killed the kid inside of me last year and
I think he's really gone for good
I miss the way he trusted without reason
Sometimes I wish that I still could
