If Looks Could Kill — текст песни (Rodney Crowell)

If today weren`t just like any day perhaps I`d try
To shed this worn out skin so thick and learn to fly
But I came home to face your ice and steel
If looks could kill I would be gone today
There`s a fire that`s burning in your eyes not in your heart
I can fan the fames but I can`t make a spark
I don`t like the way I make you feel
If looks could kill I would be long since gone
If looks could kill then I`d be pushing up your daisies
If looks could kill then I would not be going crazy
There`s a stool that I`ve been glued to for so many nights
and a bar to pour my heart out to and make it right
And I don`t have to tell myself it`s real
If looks could kill my heart would beat no more
If looks could kill then I`d be deep in peaceful slumber
If looks could kill then I would not be going under
There`s a gun out in the hallway covered up in dust
That works well enough to turn a heartache into dust
Go on and let your lawyer make a deal
If looks could kill
If looks could kill
I would be long since gone
