Killing You
Asking Alexandria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the wrong reasons
There's nothing but pain left here I know
What's killing me
Is that I'm killing you
Three years of torment and torturous love
Stained with tears and mistrust
I can't hold you any longer in this hell I'm in
'Cause your heart is too weak for me to break again
All the mistakes that I've made
You forgave. what the fuck! you shouldn't have stayed
You'd always say, there's so much love in you
I can't believe that you can't see that
You loved me for all the wrong reasons
I'm not the same as I used to be
There's nothing but pain left here, I know
What's killing me
Is that I'm killing you
Do you remember the beginning?
Heartbeats one and the same
Living smitten in texas, burning bright as a flame
So young and in love, no care what anyone said
'til my soul grew cold and my heart turned dead
What went so wrong with me
Why did I break this
Why was I so blind, too fucking dumb to see
That we were perfect, 'til I turned around
And gave in to debauchery
This is your chance to escape this
My goodbye with a last kiss
'Cause I know deep down, you know that
You loved me for all the wrong reasons
I'm not the same as I used to be
There's nothing but pain left here, I know
What's killing me
Is that I'm killing you
You loved me for all the wrong reasons
I'm not the same as I used to be
There's nothing but pain left here, I know
What's killing me
Is that I'm killing you
What's killing me
It's killing me, It's killing me
I've got to cut you
What's killing me
It's killing me, It's killing me
Is that I'm killing you
Asking Alexandria's song Killing You talks about a toxic relationship that is tearing both individuals apart. In the first verse, the singer reveals that their partner's love wasn't genuine and was based on wrong reasons that made the relationship painful for both parties. They are troubled by the fact that this relationship is killing them and also causing their partner pain. The second verse details their three years of turmoil and mistrust that has brought them to the breaking point. They acknowledge they can't hold onto their partner anymore because their heart is too fragile to endure the pain the singer has caused.
The chorus highlights their emotional state and the realization that the singer is the cause of their partner's pain. They regret their actions and are burdened with the knowledge that they are slowly killing their partner's soul. The bridge looks back at the beginning of the relationship and how both parties were smitten and burning bright like a flame. The singer then acknowledges how their actions contributed to the downfall of their perfect relationship until their soul grew cold, and their heart turned dead. The final choruses circle back to the singer's lament and guilt over their wrongdoings, mourning the fact that they are killing the one they used to love.
Overall, the lyrics of Killing You perfectly capture the emotions of a toxic relationship where both parties are hurting and the pain is slowly becoming unbearable. It serves as a cautionary tale that highlights the importance of genuine intentions and keeping loved ones from harm.
Line by Line Meaning
You loved me for all the wrong reasons
You cared for me for all the incorrect motives
All the wrong reasons
Motives colored by dishonesty characterized our relationship
There's nothing but pain left here I know
I realize that all that remains are emotions of hurt
What's killing me
My understanding of our love's destructive effects on myself
Is that I'm killing you
My actions are causing harm to you
Three years of torment and torturous love
Our relationship was characterized by three years of agony and brutal emotional experiences
Stained with tears and mistrust
Filled with distrust and tears of sorrow
Enough is enough
I can't go through this any longer
I can't hold you any longer in this hell I'm in
I am incapable of keeping you in this dreadful environment
'Cause your heart is too weak for me to break again
Because your heart is vulnerable, and I'm afraid of causing you more pain
All the mistakes that I've made
All the errors that I have committed
You forgave. what the fuck! you shouldn't have stayed
You excused my actions; why, what the heck? You should have left
You'd always say, there's so much love in you
You would frequently repeat that love is present in me
I can't believe that you can't see that
I am shocked that you are unable to perceive it
I'm not the same as I used to be
I have changed, and I'm not who I once was
Do you remember the beginning?
Can you recall our starting days?
Heartbeats one and the same
We were in sync with our emotions
Living smitten in texas, burning bright as a flame
Our burning passion while living in Texas
So young and in love, no care what anyone said
We were young and in love, ignoring anything contrary to that fact
'til my soul grew cold and my heart turned dead
Until my soul became frigid, and my heart turned cold
What went so wrong with me
What did I do so wrong?
Why did I break this
Why did I destroy this relationship?
Why was I so blind, too fucking dumb to see
Why was I so ignorant that I couldn't perceive the damage I was doing?
That we were perfect, 'til I turned around
We were flawless until I changed my perspective
And gave in to debauchery
And began indulging in immoral behavior
This is your chance to escape this
This is an opportunity for you to flee from this situation
My goodbye with a last kiss
My farewell to you with one last kiss
'Cause I know deep down, you know that
Because, intuitively, you know this is necessary
It's killing me, It's killing me
I am hurting badly
I've got to cut you
I need to let you go
Is that I'm killing you
The fact is that my actions are causing harm to you, emotionally and otherwise

You loved me for all the wrong reasons
There's nothing but pain left here I know
What's killing me is that I'm killing you
Three years of torment and torturous love
Stained with tears and mistrust, enough is enough
I can't hold you any longer in this hell I'm in 'cause
Your heart is too weak for me to break it again
All the mistakes I've made...
You forgave, what the fuck? You shouldn't have drank!
You'd always said "there's so much love in you"
I can't believe that you can't see that
You loved me for all the wrong reasons
I'm not the same as I used to be
There's nothing but pain left here I know
What's killing me is that I'm killing you
Do you remember the beginning? Heartbeats one and the same?
Living smitten in Texas burning bright as a flame
So young and in love, no care what anyone said
'Til my soul grew cold and my heart turned dead
What went so wrong with me? Why did I break this?
Why was I so blind and fucking dumb to see that we were perfect
'Til I turned around and gave in to debauchery

'Cause I know deep down you know that
You loved me for all the wrong reasons

There's nothing but pain left here I know
What's killing me is that I'm killing you
You loved me for all the wrong reasons
I'm not the same as I used to be
There's nothing but pain left here I know
What's killing me is that I'm killing you
What's killing me
(It's killing me, it's killing me)
Is that I'm killing you
What's killing me
(It's killing me, it's killing me)
Is that I'm killing you
