Slow death to me and my best friend
I pledged allegiance till the end
Gave everything I had, a naive kid
But it hurts too much to care in the way that I did

Slow death to everything I said
I'd rather love myself instead
You told me you were shocked by how I'd changed
I promise that you would've done the same

I had to kill my heart before it killed me
They called it calculated murder in the first degree
We dragged it out for long enough
Dressed it up and called it love
But it was just a slow death

Slow death to who I used to be
No one prepares you for the moment when you see
How everything around you starts to change in ways you can't explain
And after all we lost that day
I swore I'd never feel again

And I killed my heart before it killed me
They called it calculated murder in the first degree
We dragged it out for long enough
Dressed it up, called it love
But it was just a slow death
