Assassin

I work in the dead of night

When the roads are quiet

And no one is around

To track my moves



Race in the end of lights

To find the gate is open

She's waiting in the room

I just slip on through



PRE-CHORUS

You get in, you get done

And then you get gone

You never leave a trace or show your face

You get gone



Should have turned around

And left before the sun came up again

But the sun came up again



Enter the morning light,

To find the day is burning

The curtains and the wine

In a little white room



No, I'm not alone

Her head is heavy on me

She's sleeping like a child

What could I do?



PRE-CHORUS

You get in, you get done

And then you get gone

You never leave a trace or show your face

You get gone



Should have turned around

And left before the sun came up again

But the sun came up again



CHORUS

I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen

I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing

I'm an assassin and I had a job to do

Little did I know that girl was an assassin too



Suddenly I'm in over my head,

And I can hardly breathe



Suddenly I'm floating over her bed,

And I feel everything



And suddenly I know exactly what I did,

But I cannot move a thing



And suddenly I know exactly what I'd done,

And what it's gonna mean to me, mean to me



I'm gone



CHORUS

I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen

I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing

I'm an assassin and I had a job to do

Little did I know that girl was an assassin too



She's an assassin

She's an assassin

She's an assassin

She's an assassin and she had a job to do
