Kills You Slowly lyrics

[Verse 1]

Made plans with me and all your friends

I'm late again, I hate to keep you waiting

Tried to be a gentleman, got drunk again before I even made it

Tried to call a car for you, you're tired of me

I know you wouldn't take it

You walked a mile in Louis Vuittons and fucked 'em up

You know that they're my favorite

[Pre-Chorus]

But we dress up and play pretend

Then we act like we're good again

I do things I can't defend

And even when you hold it in

[Chorus]

Hold it, even though it kills you slowly

Explosions, hidden when we're in the open

Keep on smilin' until it's over

Hold it, even though it kills you slowly

[Verse 2]

Arguments that never end

You're talkin' shit to spice up conversation

I'm so sick of back and forth

These fights with you are startin' to feel contagious

Said that I'm no good for you

Right before we walk into your parents

Then you put on that smile again

And grab my hand even though you hate it

[Pre-Chorus]

But we dress up and play pretend

Then we act like we're good again

I do things I can't defend

And even when you hold it in

[Chorus]

Hold it, even though it kills you slowly

Explosions, hidden when we're in the open

Keep on smilin' until it's over

Hold it, even though it kills you slowly

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, but, but it, it won't, but I said

You hold on, hopin' it gon' stop, but it don't

Oh, but, but it, it won't, but I said

You hold on, hopin' it gon' stop, but it don't

[Bridge]

Hold it, even though it kills you slowly

Explosions hidden when we're in the open

And keep on smilin' until it's over

Hold it, even though it kills you slowly

[Chorus]

Hold it, even though it kills you slowly

(Oh, but, but it, it won't, but I said

You hold on, hopin' it gon' stop, but it don't)

Explosions hidden when we're in the open

(Oh, but, but it, it won't, but I said

You hold on, hopin' it gon' stop, but it don't)

Keep on smilin' until it's over

(Oh, but, but it, it won't, but I said

You hold on, hopin' it gon' stop, but it don't)

Holdin' even though it kills you slowly

(Oh, but, but it, it won't, but I said

You hold on, hopin' it gon' stop, but it don't)
