Lyrics

MURDER MY HEART
(Tonio K./John Keller)

it was a rainy night, another cinematic horror story
seemed like black and white, even though this was no video
it was real alright; i could feel the cold wind overcome me
as i tried to get out of that house without losing my soul
and the lightning flashed (even though there wasn't no lightning)
and thunder crashed in my head, causing me to see stars
on the night someone i used to love tried to murder my heart
on the night someone i used to love tried to murder my heart

well i put up a fight, tried to conquer her anger with logic
yes, i put up a fight, tried to cover the hatred with hope
went around all night, with the shadow of my fallen angel
who before my eyes had become someone i didn't know
i don't know, maybe i accidentally said something that hurt her
or the devil himself stirred her up with a fiery dart
on the night someone i used to love tried to murder my heart

well i like to go back, but i can't until somebody changes
'till she learns to be kind, or i learn to enjoy being cruel
yes, i'd like to go back for the good girl i still can remember
but that woman that tried to destroy me will just never do
i've heard people can actually change if they really want to
if you want to be healed, you say "yes" and the process can start
i won't settle for less, i won't let no one murder my heart
i won't settle for less, i don't let no one mess with my heart
honey, nobody gets to treat me like you did on the night someone i used to love tried to murder my heart
tried to murder my heart
murder my heart
you tried to murder my heart
