Rodney Crowell - If Looks Could Kill lyrics

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
