30 Seconds to Mars ~ The Kill

"The Kill" is featured on 30 Seconds to Mars' sophmore album A Beautiful Lie . After hearing this song on the radio multiple times I finally remembered to look up the lyrics. I used to think the chorus was "Marry me. Bury me." The official video for this song was based on the movie The Shining and has been nominated for multiple awards. I chose to include a video of the acoustic version of "The Kill". The album version is edgier and with more screaming, but either way a great song.

The Kill by 30 Seconds to Mars lyrics

What if I wanted to break, laugh it all off in your face?
What would you do?
What if I fell to the floor, couldn't take all this anymore?
What would you do, do, do?

Come break me down. Bury me. Bury me.
I am finished with you.

What if I wanted to fight, beg for the rest of my life?
What would you do?
You say you wanted more, what are you waiting for?
I'm not running from you.

Come break me down. Bury me. Bury me.
I am finished with you.
Look in my eyes. You're killing me, killing me.
All I wanted was you.

I tried to be someone else, but nothing seemed to change.
I know now, this is who I really am inside.
Finally found myself - fighting for a chance.
I know now, this is who I really am.

Come break me down. Bury me. Bury me.
I am finished with you, you, you.
Look in my eyes. You're killing me, killing me.
All I wanted was you.

Come break me down.
Break me down.
Break me down.

What if I wanted to break?
What if I..
Bury me. Bury me.
