You Kill Me (In a Good Way) Lyrics
Yeah, oh
[Verse 1]
I know that hope weighs on your mind, lost within the seams
It seems like we lose ourselves in between
But the harder things become, the harder you push away
Oh baby, yeah, baby, it kills me
[Chorus]
You said it, you said it
I'll take you at your word
Promises that you can't keep
It's getting harder to hold on
You said it, you said it
Don't ever let me fall
Don't give up because you're losing
You haven't lost
[Verse 2]
In time you'll find that we can sober up
Clean up any dirt so we can open up
These wounds have been open for forever now
Come on, be strong
Your mind has gotten the best of you
You've done enough and you are enough
Let's fall asleep tonight
I'll hold you close and show you you're not broken (Broken)
You said it, you said it
I'll take you at your word
Promises that you can't keep
It's getting harder to hold on
You said it, you said it
Don't ever let me fall
Don't give up because you're losing
(Losing, losing, losing, losing, losing...)
[Bridge]
(Hold on, hold on)
(Hold, just hold on)
Don't you think if it's meant to be, it will be?
Don't you think things will work out eventually? Eventually?
Hold on
[Chorus]
You said it, you said it
I'll take you at your word
Promises that you can't keep
It's getting harder to hold on
You said it, you said it
Don't ever let me fall
Don't give up because you're losing
You said it, you said it
I'll take you at your word
Promises that you can't keep
It's getting harder to hold on
You said it, you said it
Don't ever let me fall
Don't give up because you're losing
(Losing, losing, losing, losing, losing)
About
“You Kill Me (In A Good Way)” is about the struggles of depression. Kellin tries to comfort this girl, but ends up getting pushed away. He shows resilience by not giving up on her because she needs the support. The entirety of the song consists of anti-suicidal message directed at this girl, but is more widely directed at anyone struggling with depression.
The song continues the heavier sound that’s featured on With Ears To See And Eyes To Hear. Sleeping With Sirens is known for mostly clean vocals, with some screaming. This song is no different. The bridge is screamed not in an angry way, but to emphasize that things will look up, you just have to hold on.
