lyrics

I kill you except for if I did I know I'd go to jail
I'd be the primary suspect
They'd call me for interrogation
I'd try to level with the authorities and tell them,
"Hey man, if you were me, you'd have done the same"

I'd love you except for the simple fact that I wish that you were dead
There's gotta be some kind of middle ground
I don't want to be counter productive
I ought to suppress my feelings
And if I did it would be for the best

And as I'm nodding off to go to bed
I stumble on my pillow as I gasp for oxygen

I'd kill you except for in jail I'd have to think about my crime (for a long, long, time)
I'd have to think about you in tandem
Your existence would become an abstraction
I'd wonder if it was worth it, I'd think
At the time it was, but now I'm not so sure

I think I'll ignore you, it's probably the best thing I can do
Meanwhile...
You'll continue your path of destruction
Leave a mess like a tornado
They'll ask me if I knew you and I'll say,
"Who?"
