What’s Killing You Lyrics

[Intro]
Life's not fair, let's stay unaware
It's not worth living if we're living scared
Time won't wait, give it all today
Tomorrow isn't always there
Fuck 'em up

[Verse 1]
I wanna be in the moment but the moments pass
I try to make it forever but it never lasts
Remember all the stories but they're fading fast
And now I can't stop staring at the photographs

[Pre-Chorus]
Try to suppress the feeling, put a void inside my mind
Hopelessly pretending I'll always have more time

[Chorus]
Don't know how to feel
Nothing I can do
It's killing me seeing what's killing you
Don't know what to think
Can't believе it's true
It's killing me seeing what's killing you
It's killing me seeing what's killing you
It's killing mе seeing what's killing you
[Verse 2]
I know how I can be when I'm stuck in my head
Disappear into the night where I try to repent
I'm sorry for all the time that I never spend
In the world instead of laying face down in bed

[Pre-Chorus]
Try to find out the ending while the journey's left behind
Hopelessly pretending I'll always have more time

[Chorus]
Don't know how to feel
Nothing I can do
It's killing me seeing what's killing you
Don't know what to think
Can't believe it's true
It's killing me seeing what's killing you
It's killing me seeing what's killing you
It's killing me seeing what's killing you

[Bridge]
Life's not fair, let's stay unaware
It's not worth living if we're living scared
Time won't wait, give it all today
Tomorrow isn't always there
[Chorus]
Don't know how to feel
Nothing I can do
It's killing me seeing what's killing you
Don't know what to think
Can't believe it's true
It's killing me seeing what's killing you
It's killing me seeing what's killing you
It's killing me seeing what's killing you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Caleb Shomo:

This is about dealing with loss. Throughout the process of this record, I went through a very significant loss in my life. It’s something that we all deal with in this world, so this song was just me trying to put those emotions into words.
