He didn't come home till the light of the day
He wasn't with her he would say
They fought through the morning and all of the day
She'd have to kill him to get him to stay
Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away
She gave him everything that she had
Changed anything he said was bad
Love weighed on her heart like marble stone
Flash of the knife, he was gone
Said he would give her the sun and the moon
Now all she has is this eight-by-eight room
Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away
She thought of him every night and all of the day
Missing the baby she did away
Blowing kisses to the concrete sky
Hoping they'd reach him in heaven high
Love weighed on her heart like marble stone
Flash of the knife, he was gone
Said he would give her the sun and the moon
Now all she has is this eight-by-eight room
