If Looks Could Kill  

Intro:   

                                  
If today weren't just like any day perhaps I'd try
                                      
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
                               
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

                                          
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 to 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

Solo +:
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 the hallway covered up in dust
That works well enough to turn this heartache into dust
Go on and let your lawyer make a deal
If looks could kill
If looks could kill I would be long since gone
