Written by Julia Fordham I confess, there's a chance I cannot fake it any longer I admit, this could be it There's a danger I'm going under I know that yesterday You saw me stronger than the sun Then one cold word from you And swiftly I've come undone And your love's killing me slowly Killing me one day at a time Killing me slowly It's the sweetest suicide It's the sweetest suicide Killing me slowly Your firm hand on the door My brave little foot keeping it open My whole self on the line There's a danger I might get broken Slip your pill under my tongue And willingly I succumb Cup my heart in your palm And squeeze it 'til the red stuff runs And your love's killing me slowly Killing me one day at a time Killing me slowly It's the sweetest suicide It's the sweetest suicide Killing me slowly For a moment there You know I almost fooled myself Into thinking I was in control of how I felt Striving towards salvation Clutching my last drop of dignity Go on take the pillow Smother me, smother me And your love's killing me slowly Killing me one day at a time Killing me slowly It's the sweetest suicide It's the sweetest suicide
