Verse 1 Last year, you came into my life You made me feel like Summer in the winter baby Made me feel in ways i never knew Made me feel Like I was Pre-chorus you gave me Joy And I thought you were peace Thought you were my Love And Happiness But You gave me Pain And ...... Chorus You became The death of me You were the death of me Death x3 Nothing left of me 6ft under Verse 2 Submerged in your lies I danced and I fight Telling him to loose that grip That grip you got on my mind Dragging me up and down Flipping me around Cause suggah your my death Your showing cracks Got me breaking my back My Skins crawling Twisting my mind And as God is my witness You’ve got me in Deaths kisses Cause you were the death…… Joy I thought you were Peace That it was with you Love (baby I loved yah!) You gave me Happiness But You gave me Chorus The death death x3 of me You became the death of me, oooh yeah I’m in the grave 6 feet under breathing for air, and you became the death of me.

Verse 1 I’ve had to let you go And left low Nothing is left of me Nothing to give Or receive Forgiving you weren’t easy It’s eroding me Can’t you see Set me free Chorus/Hook And As the sun sets and the moon shines and I feel my love for you pass And as my pain pasts away and travels, fades, away. Verse 2 I’ve had to pray And pushed away Had to Get down Asking for his grace This won’t get the best of me If I let you break Then I’ll finally be free Distant as We can be Chorus: And As the sun sets and the moon shines and I feel my love for you pass As my pain dusts away, and it travels, fades away, fades away. Trumpet solo Bridge We weren’t meant to be Loving you was never easy Let My Spirit fly And I find its liberty Chorus: And As the sun sets and the moon shines and I feel my love for you pass My pain dusts away, and it travels, fades away Fades Away Oooooh
