If Looks Could Kill

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

And 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



And 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 on 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



And 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

So go on and let your lawyer make a deal

If looks could kill, if looks could kill I would be long since gone
