Love Is a Murder
The Constellations Lyrics

I've got scars up and down from my head to my toes
I've been through a lot of tough times in life, and those experiences have left me with physical and emotional scars that I carry with me.

I've lived a long hard life, some said, and it shows
I've endured many challenges throughout my life, and those experiences have left their mark on me.

From the fist fights, late nights, rock, and roll shows
I've lived a wild and sometimes dangerous life, filled with fights, parties, and music.

You've got to take it to the limit 'cause nobody knows
Life is unpredictable, and no one knows what the future holds, so you have to live life to the fullest and push yourself to the limit.

If it's your time don't cry, and never regret
When your time comes to leave this world, don't be afraid and don't have any regrets about how you lived your life.

Stick the dagger in deep, and twist it again
When you love someone, you have to give yourself completely to them, even if it hurts, and keep twisting that knife of love deeper and deeper.

And love will leave you broken-hearted with a hole in your chest
Love can be painful and leave you feeling empty and alone when it ends.

Like you've been shotgunned down and left for dead
The pain of lost love can feel like a physical injury, as if you've been shot and left to die.

If you really wanna live
If you want to experience everything that life has to offer

You've gotta be ready to die
you have to be willing to take risks and put yourself in danger

Every single love is a murder,
Every time you fall in love, a part of you dies and you have to give up some of yourself to make the relationship work.

You've gotta commit to survive
To make it through the ups and downs of a relationship, you have to commit fully and be willing to put in the work to keep it going.

With life comes pain, but pain comes love
Life is full of pain and suffering, but that's a necessary part of experiencing love and all that it has to offer.

And when you feel it you can heal it, let it murder your heart
When you experience the pain of love, you can use that pain to heal and grow stronger, and let love consume you completely.

And there's a poison at the end of every arrow that falls
Love can be dangerous and lead to heartbreak and pain, just like a poison that can kill you.

Gotta get knocked off of your feet and crawl
Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom and crawl your way back up to learn and grow from your experiences.

Through the thorns and the glass along your path
Life is full of obstacles and challenges, and you have to navigate them carefully and with caution.

Feel the wrath of the reaper, he will kid you and laugh
Death is always looming, and sometimes it feels like it's mocking you and laughing at your struggles.

And when it's all over, with a smile on your face
When you reach the end of your life, you should look back on it with a sense of peace and contentment, knowing that you lived it to the fullest.

Wipe the blood from your wounds and give it a taste
Even when life is painful and difficult, you should embrace those experiences and use them to learn and grow.

It's a tragedy that truly hurts
When a relationship ends, it can be a painful and tragic experience.

I'll do you, if you do me first
I'll open up and be vulnerable with you if you do the same for me.

Isn't that suicide?
Isn't it dangerous to open up and be vulnerable with someone else?

But I don't know if you will die
I don't know if being vulnerable will hurt you, but I'm willing to take that risk.

But even in death, I can't forget you
Even when a relationship ends, you can't forget the love you felt for that person.

Even in death, I'm glad I met you
Even if a relationship ends badly, you can still be grateful for the time you spent together and the experiences you shared.

You made life worth living
Being in love and having someone to share your life with can make everything feel more meaningful and fulfilling.

And you made love worth giving
Being in love can be an incredibly rewarding and fulfilling experience, even if it's painful at times.

So don't panic
Don't be afraid, even when things get difficult.

I'm a helpless romantic
I believe in love and am willing to put everything on the line for it.

So I'm a dead man often
Love can be painful and cause you to feel like a part of you has died, but it's still worth it in the end.

And this is a dead man talkin'
This is someone who has been through the pain of love and come out the other side, still willing to take that risk.
