Oh, it's choking me to death
I can hardly catch my breath
And the tears they keep on falling
Can't show the pain I feel

Every day that passes by
It's just one more way to die
Oh, I know that I'd be gone now
If a broken heart could kill

Why didn't you just take a gun
And shoot me where I stood?
And put an end to this misery
For good

But you know, I'm still alive
And somehow I will survive
And Lord knows that I'd be cold and still
If a broken heart could kill

Why didn't you just take a gun
And shoot me where I stood?
And put an end to this misery
For good

But you know, I'm still alive
And somehow I will survive
And Lord knows that I'd be cold and still
If a broken heart could kill
(If a broken heart could kill)
