if today were just like any day
perhaps i tried
to shed this worn out skin so thick and learn to fly
but i came home to face your ice and steel
if looks could kill i would be gone today
there's a fire that's burning in your eyes
not in your heart
and i can fan the flames but i can't make a spark
and i don't like the way i make you feel
if looks could kill i would be long since gone
and if looks could kill
then i'd be pushing up your daisies
if looks could kill then i would not be going crazy
there's a stool that i've been glued to
for so many nights
and a bar to pour my heart out on and make it right
and i don't have to tell myself it's real
if looks could kill my heart would beat no more
if looks could kill
then i'd be deep in peaceful slumber
if looks could kill then i would not be going under
there's a gun out in our hallway covered up in rust
and works well enough to turn this heartache to dust
so go on and let your lawyer make a deal
if looks could kill
if looks could kill i would be long since gone
