Kill The Lights Lyrics

Why'd you have to leave for.. baby

I'ma kill the lights but keep the blinds open
I really hope your mind's open
Talking to me with your thighs open
But that's all we ever do, I think this line's broken
Why we go to war, while I'm holding you
I know there's no controlling you
But if I could get a hold of you
I would bring the best out you, I can see the soul in you

God damn, throw me in to your bath water
Come on baby baptize me
You're facing charges of man slaughter
Then you turn around and chastise me, you chastise me


Until I put my weapons down
I bite the bullet
Got your weapons out
The first one to pull it, oh
Until I put my weapons down
I bite the bullet
Load another round
Cock back and pull it, oh... oh


Somebody's telling lies
And ain't nobody leaving here 'til someone dies
It comes to no surprise
That I'm saying this while looking in my lovers eyes
I know I should let you go
But I can't help it when I see you I lose all control
Yeah that's for sure
Just so you know
I would have died for you a million times over
Kill the lights
Kill the lights
Kill the lights
I would have died for you a million times over, baby
Kill the lights
Kill the lights
Kill the lights
I would have died for you a million times over

We've been flying off the rails
It's funny when you fight for something even when it fails
And you say that you care still, I say I do as well
But fuck all of that good intention shit that led us straight to hell
Now I know that we're at war we use our words as ammunition
So you caught me at my weakest with that drive-by in the kitchen

And your little laundry list of shit that I need to improve on
And all of your constant threats, you saying that you gon' move on
So I sit back and I think back to all the things that I'd undo
You were the only one that I'd run to
I was the only one you were stuck to
Now we're sitting here, arguing like you're some bitch and I'm some dude
You're disconnected, I'm subdued
You serenade me with fuck you's
And all I wanna do is kiss you cuz I miss you that's the fucked thing
You un-sing our love song, I hold on by one string
We deal with it in different ways
You cry girl, I punch things
So right before we kill each other
I'ma kill the lights on this love thing, you know...
Kill the lights
Kill the lights
Kill the lights
I would have died for you a million times over, baby
Kill the lights
Kill the lights
Kill the lights
I would have died for you a million times over
