Torment
Killing Me Inside Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(For the last time) you waste my tears now, no more torment
But don′t just say you've gone away
You tell a fuckin′ tale (swallow me and spit me out)
How do I get trought of this? (I can't stand it anymore)

(Can you see) smiling when I sing this song
(Right now) I just want to be alive
(You know I was dying when you told me) that I'm not yours anymore
(You know I was dying when you told me) you′re just playing and fooling around with me

When the time she comes and wake me
And when she bit my lips and kissed me there
When she holds my hand and lives my life tonight
And when she said that she really love me (were the worst fuckin′ days)

(Can you see) smiling when I sing this song
(Right now) I just want to be alive
(You know I was dying when you told me) that I'm not yours anymore
(You know I was dying when you told me) you′re just playing and fooling around with me

When the time she comes and wake me (she comes and wake me up)
And when she bit my lips and kissed me there
When she holds my hand and lives my life tonight
And when she said that she really love me

But suddenly you came to me
And begged me to be yours again
And right now you're holding my hand
I′m sorry baby, but all I can say is

No
Hell no

Can you see the times grows older
She blew my dreams away
It's all done and now it′s over
I don't know how to say to you

Can you see the times grows older
She blew my dreams away
It's all done and now it′s over
I don′t know how to say

The time it's over
Right now
The time it′s over
Right now

The time it's over
Right now




The time it′s over
Right now

The lyrics also touch on the regret the singer experiences for giving so much of themselves to someone who didn't appreciate it.


The chorus of the song is a plea for a fresh start, a chance to be happy and feel alive again.

The final verse reveals that the subject of the song has returned, asking for a second chance, but the response is a resounding no.
