Even If Kills Me

[Intro – Soft Piano & Strings] Ooooh... Mmmm... Baby... Listen... [Verse 1] I watched your shadow Dance across the wall tonight Like memories still holding on To what we used to be And every room inside this house Still whispers your sweet name Girl, your love left fingerprints That time just can’t erase [Pre-Chorus] Now my friends keep telling me To let you go But they don’t understand How deep your river flows [Chorus] Even if it kills me I’m gonna love you anyway Even if these tears Wash my whole world away I’d rather break in pieces Than never feel your fire Girl, losing you Would take my soul much higher Even if it kills me... I’ll love you till my final day [Verse 2] I still hear Marvin playing softly From that old radio And your silhouette in candlelight Still moves inside my soul You were more than just a woman You were peace inside my storm And every lonely midnight I keep praying you come home [Pre-Chorus] Ohhhh... And I know pride’s a heavy chain But this heart refuses To walk away [Chorus] Even if it kills me I’m gonna stand right here Through every lonely season Through every falling tear And if loving you’s my cross to bear Then let heaven hear me say I’d do it all again Without one regret today Even if it kills me... I’ll love you till my final day [Bridge – Spoken Word with Soft Piano] (Spoken emotionally) See... People talk about love Like it’s something you can turn off But real love? Real love stays with you... In your bloodstream In your prayers In the silence after midnight And baby... If loving you is the price I pay Then so be it... [Instrumental Break] (Emotional tenor saxophone solo followed by expressive Fender Rhodes and swelling strings) [Final Chorus – Big Emotional Lift] Even if it kills me I won’t let your memory die You’re the reason My spirit still survives And if I gotta walk through fire Just to keep your love alive Then let the flames surround me I’ll hold on through the night Even if it kills me... Even if it breaks me... Even if heaven calls my name... I’ll still love you... Just the same... [Outro – Fading] Ooooooh baby... Don’t leave me now... Mmmm... Even if it kills me...
