Lyrics

If I?d been told when I was born, life would be like this
That all your rights could still feel wrong
I?m not sure that I would have ever taken my first breath
Easier to sleep instead
But oh, now I know, and there?s nothing I can do

If could see when we first met, all that came between
I wouldn?t change a thing
And I wouldn?t have to sit back here in my loneliness and regret
I?d never hedge my bets
But oh, now I know, and there?s nothing I can do
I?m not the killing kind, are you?

I was shown when I was young how to keep my secrets hid
Buried underneath my tongue
Scared and cold in lonely holes, they taught me to believe
Every man a king
But oh, now I know, and there?s nothing I can do
I?m not the killing kind,
I?m not the killing kind, are you?

I know what we do when we cry
I know what we can be when we shine
I just don?t know why...

I?m not the killing kind,
No, I?m not the killing kind
No, I ain?t the killing kind, are you?
