How to Kill a Man

There’s a knot in my belly, reminding me I’ve sinned,
this gift keeps on giving, til the end.
Bury your heart with this guilt and regret,
it’s the surest way there is to kill a man.
Bury your love with this shame and contempt,
it’s the surest way there is to kill a man.
There’s a note on the levy, the flood is rushing in,
it’s a terrible feeling, this presents.
This boat isn’t steady, the hole is caving in,
shame has no mercy, in the end.
Bury your heart with this guilt and regret,
it’s the surest way there is to kill a man.
Bury your love with this shame and contempt,

I’m thinkin', over thinkin', over thinkin',
over thinkin' I’m thinkin', over thinkin', over thinkin',
over thinkin' I’m thinkin', over thinkin', over thinkin',
over thinkin', I’m thinkin', over thinkin', over thinkin'
over thinkin'
