Life And Death

Written by billy burnette and rafe van hoy.





I found your note and that was all she wrote

You might as well just've cut my throat

You said i'm doing this for your own sake

And all of this has been a big mistake

It doesn't matter what you think is best

This is a matter of life and death



You said it hurts me more than it does you

Then why am i turning all these shades of blue

You had me thinkin' it was paradise

All of a sudden it was cold, thin ice

I've fallen under, trying to catch my breath

This is a matter of life and death



You set me up to let me down

You took the love i couldn't live without

Two fatal words "bye bye"

Without your love you know i'll surely die



I never begged for anything before

I'm close to knockin'on st. peter's door

Come on baby, i'm down on my knees

You know my heart will never rest in peace

Grant me the only with that i have left

This is a matter of life and death



(tag)



Don't kill the only one alive that loves you the best

This is a matter of life
