He didn't come home til the light of the day
He wasn't with her he would say
They fought through the morning and all of the day
She'd have to kill him to get him to stay

Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away

She gave him everything that she had
Changed anything he said was bad
Love weighed on her heart like marble stone
Flash of the knife, he was gone
He said he would give her the sun and the moon
Now all she has is a six by eight room

Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away

She thought of him every night and all of the day
Missing her baby she did away
Blowing kisses through the concrete sky
Hoping they'd reach him on heaven high

Love weighed on her heart like marble stone
Flash of the knife, he was gone
He said he would give her the sun and the moon
Now all she has is a six by eight room

Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away
