It’s Killing Me Lyrics by Shields

Life in Exile

2018

[Intro: Joe Edwards]
Keep me strong

[Verse 1: Joe Edwards & Sam Kubrick]
I was a child who never smiled
Every step I took felt like a mile (Felt like a mile)
Compared to everyone I knew, I wasn't the same
I lived in exile every day
I lived in exile every day

[Chorus: Sam Kubrick & Joe Edwards]
They say what doesn't kill you
Makes you stronger
It's killing me, killing me
There's no one to keep me strong
Keep me strong

[Verse 2: Joe Edwards]
I was a child who never smiled
Time has healed nothing
Time pulled this wound further apart
Time pulled this wound further apart

[Chorus: Sam Kubrick]
They say what doesn't kill you
Makes you stronger
It's killing me, killing me
There's no one to keep me strong
They say what doesn't kill you
Makes you stronger
What's killing me
Is having no one to keep me strong

[Bridge: Joe Edwards & Sam Kubrick]
I cannot tell what hurts more
Losing someone or having no one at all
No one at all
No one at all

[Chorus: Sam Kubrick]
They say what doesn't kill you
Makes you stronger
It's killing me, killing me
There's no one to keep me strong
They say what doesn't kill you
Makes you stronger
What's killing me
Is having no one to keep me strong
