Exploring the depths of personal transformation, this haunting track delves into the drastic measures one might take for love. The narrative presents a protagonist who metaphorically 'kills' his old self to become someone else, all in a bid to please the object of his affection. By employing the stark imagery of murder, Benjamin powerfully conveys the extent of his character's self-sacrifice. However, he also raises questions about authenticity and acceptance in relationships: should we have to change who we are to be loved? The song serves as a poignant reminder that while compromise is part of any relationship, losing oneself entirely can lead to regret and a longing for acceptance of one's true self.
If I Killed Someone for You
Lyrics
I'm sorry that I did this, the blood is on my hands
I stare at my reflection, I don't know who I am
Practice my confession in case I take the stand
I'll say I learned my lesson, I'll be a better man
I'm packing up my things and I'm wiping down the walls
I'm rinsing off my clothes and I'm walking through the halls
I did it all for her, so I felt nothing at all
I don't know what she'll say, so I'll ask her when she calls
Would you love me more (would you love me more)
If I killed someone for you?
Would you hold my hands? (Would you hold my hands)
They're the same ones that I used
When I killed someone for you
Would you turn me in (would you turn me in)
When they say I'm on the loose?
Would you hide me when (would you hide me when)
My face is on the news?
'Cause I killed someone for you, yeah
I hear the sirens comin', I see the flashing lights
I'm driving through the suburbs wearing my disguise
I show up at her doorstep to look her in the eyes
I tell her that it's me, but she doesn't recognize
"Can't you see I'm running?" Said, "I need a place to hide"
"I've gotta ask you something, could you please let me inside"
"Just let me explain, no, I wouldn't tell you lies"
"I know you'll understand if you let me stay the night"
Would you love me more (would you love me more)
If I killed someone for you?
Would you hold my hands? (Would you hold my hands)
They're the same ones that I used
When I killed someone for you
Would you turn me in (would you turn me in)
When they say I'm on the loose?
Would you hide me when (would you hide me when)
My face is on the news?
'Cause I killed someone for you, yeah
You have to understand that the one I killed is me
Changing what I was for what you wanted me to be
I followed your direction, did everything you asked
I hope it makes you happy, 'cause there's just no turning back
Would you love me more (would you love me more)
If I killed someone for you?
Would you hold my hands? (Would you hold my hands)
They're the same ones that I used
When I killed someone for you
Would you turn me in (would you turn me in)
When they say I'm on the loose?
Would you hide me when (would you hide me when)
My face is on the news?
'Cause I killed someone for you, yeah
