Kill A Darling

Verse 1

Baggage piling up

Join the burnout club

Never learned the art of saying "no"

Just not letting chances go

It's catching up to me

​

I can't get much further

Head is barely above water

It's a pool I filled with pressure

to the brim

​

And I wanted the world

but the world drained me dry

Filled my house with babies

I can't tend to them all

​

Pre-chorus

I gotta let go

I close my eyes and pull the trigger

​

Chorus

I gotta move on

It seems I might have to kill a darling

Keep putting it off

Cause deep inside I don't want it to end

Want it to end

​

Verse 2

Waiting for a sign

(Waiting for a sign)

A hero of some kind

(Hero of some kind)

I'm convinced it's just right down the road

"Soon" became an empty word

It's catching up to me

​

I try to make decisions 

but can't find my ammunition

in this pool I filled with pressure

to the brim

​

And I don't need a break

I need to break it off

Turning back is easy

I keep spinning along

​

Chorus

So I gotta move on

It seems I might have to kill a darling

Keep putting it off

Can I make up my mind?

Cause deep inside I don't want it to end

To end

​

Outro

I gotta let go

I close my eyes and pull the trigger

I gotta move on

(I gotta move on)

It seems I might have to kill a darling

(Darling)

Keep putting it off

I'm sorry it had to come to this

but it seems that I gotta kill you darling
