Oh, it's choking me to death I can hardly catch my breath And the tears they keep on falling Can't show the pain I feel Every day that passes by It's just one more way to die Oh, I know that I'd be gone now If a broken heart could kill Why didn't you just take a gun And shoot me where I stood? And put an end to this misery For good But you know, I'm still alive And somehow I will survive And Lord knows that I'd be cold and still If a broken heart could kill Why didn't you just take a gun And shoot me where I stood? And put an end to this misery For good But you know, I'm still alive And somehow I will survive And Lord knows that I'd be cold and still If a broken heart could kill (If a broken heart could kill)
