Murder in My Heart

Sheryl Crow

I used to love a boy

I still see him in these rooms

His head was like the summer

And his voice was like the moon

Sometimes he makes me happy

A deeper shade of blue

And there's murder in my heart

And there's nothing I can do

I used to love a boy

But now he's two years dead

I hear myself repeating what my father always said

Don't let it make you bitter

I watched what he said

I got murder in my heart

But I'd rather die instead

Somebody wanna take another lover?

Does anybody need another friend?

Right now anybody who isn't me

I kinda like the ocean

With it's arms stretched open wide

But I know what it means

To be dragged out with the tide

And to fight from going under

And to keep myself alive

And there's murder in my heart

And there's water in my eyes

When I laid last night

Just to get a little rest

And I walked beneath the streetlight

And I saw nobody there

Just a bitterness that followed me

A saddening surprise

That there's murder in my heart

And I made me that way

There's murder in my heart

And I can't make it go away
