I found your note and that was all she wrote
You might as well justve cut my throat
You said Im doing this for your own sake
And all of this has been a big mistake
It doesnt matter what you think is best
This is a matter of life and death

You said it hurts me more than it does you
Then why am I turning all these shades of blue
You had me thinkin it was paradise
All of a sudden it was cold, thin ice
Ive fallen under, trying to catch my breath
This is a matter of life and death

You set me up to let me down
You took the love I couldnt live without
Two fatal words bye bye
Without your love you know Ill surely die

I never begged for anything before
Im close to knockinon st. peters door
Come on baby, Im down on my knees
You know my heart will never rest in peace
Grant me the only with that I have left
This is a matter of life and death

(tag)

Dont kill the only one alive that loves you the best
This is a matter of lifeanddeath
