Verse 1:
She said it was time
To give my heart back
Handed me the pieces
In a paper sack
Told me that she and I
Could still be friends
Then she gave to me, for all to see,
The kiss of death
Verse 2:
It should have brought me
Right to my knees
When she gave me back
That mailbox key
One thing remained
To seal the coffin's lid
Rip love to shreds, leave my heart dead
The kiss of death
Chorus:
I'm not trying to be needy
Shoot me. Beat me. Leave me bleeding
That would be a torture I can take
The way you left me at our door
Told me love was gone for sure
Your cold goodbye is all that I have left
The kiss of death
Verse 3:
They say ya don't leave
A love when you're mad
But, I sure do wish
Baby, that you had
As I watched you go
Was feeling pretty sad
You smiled and waved, from my pickup truck
My huntin' dog in the back
(x2)
Tag:
It's gonna haunt me to my dying breath
That kiss of death
That kiss of death
That kiss of death
