[verse 1]
They drifted away
But she wanted to stay
Even though she knows his feelings will never change
She waits and she waits
Just to hear her name
And those three words that mean everything

[pre-Chorus]
But deep down she's aware that
That's something that'll never reach her ear
And deep down she's aware that
That's something she'll never live to hear

[Chorus]
So go ahead and kill me as long as he's safe
And go ahead and shoot me as long as I can see his face
When I'm gone

[verse 2]
She sees his face everyday
And maybe one day he'll say :
"I've always felt that way."

[pre-Chorus]
But deep down she's aware that
That's something she'll never live to hear
And deep down she's aware that
Those words will never reach her ear
[Chorus]
So go ahead and kill me as long as he's safe
And go ahead and shoot me as long as I can see his face
When I'm gone, when I'm gone

[bridge]
Forget about you over the weekend
Decide that I'm over it
But the second I see your face again
It's like the match was re-lit [x2]

[Chorus]
So go ahead and kill me as long as he's safe
And go ahead and shoot me as long as I can see his face
When I'm gone
