Killing Me Inside Lyrics

[Chorus]
You'll never know
How much I love you
Try and I try
But I just can't quit you
You're killing me inside
But I can't live without you
Oh, oh, you'll never know

[Verse 1]
Uh, I've been with you ever since I was a little boy
Searching through Cracker Jack boxes to find that little toy
You bring me a little joy
But you will destroy me, eventually and feel no empathy
I remember we first met, and about you I wasn't sure
But you had this allure that kept me coming back for more
You warned me upfront you was dangerous
Not to be tampered with, the nail that my coffin would be hammered with
But I just figured it would be a short fling
And me and you partin' ways, that would be a sure thing
But your cling got so much stronger
It would go much longer than expected, far from inexpensive
I think of all the money that I spent with you
Especially on the days when the rent is due
I'm gonna hit it 'til the end of the year, and then I'm through
Aw, who am I my pretending? I'ma ride 'til the end of you
[Chorus]
You'll never know
How much I love you
Try and I try
But I just can't quit you
You're killing me inside
But I can't live without you
Oh, oh, you'll never know

[Verse 2]
Check it out, yo
It's a one-sided relationship, and I'm spiteful from it
It doesn't help that my mom never liked you one bit
She always warned me that you weren't the right type to run with
The moments of pleasure ain't worth the type of life you come with
In one out the other ear
Another year, another year, you're still fuckin' here
I love you, dear, but you're fuckin' my career up
Bam, kick you out, celebratin', lift the beer up
But soon as I'm drinking I'm desperate for your presence
And you're always close by, accessible in seconds
And your essence grips hold of me, then I go and pick you up
You Rick Roll me, I'm never gonna give you up
I need you every day, so bad I'll steady pay
Any a-mount required to take my breath away
Sickness and health, only in death are we parted
Loving you, I wish I've never started
Damn
[Chorus]
You'll never know
How much I love you
Try and I try
But I just can't quit you
You're killing me inside
But I can't live without you
Oh, oh, you'll never know

[Outro]
Ayo, I'm saying man, you got something to ash in?
Oh cool, yeah, I gotta go outside and smoke a cigarette, man
I need to take a fucking break from this song
Fuck this song
And fuck that bitch too

About

Genius Annotation

The song details Wax’s addiction to smoking, but is written like a bittersweet love song by speaking directly to his habit and only using vague terms than can be applied to a relationship.
