If Looks Could Kill (Album Version)

If Looks Could Kill - Rodney Crowell

If today weren't just like any day

Perhaps I'd try

To shared 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

And I can fan the fames

But I can't make a spark

And I don't like the way I make you feel

If looks could kill

I would be long since gone

And 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

So go on and let your lawyer make a deal

If looks could kill

If looks could kill

I would be long since gone
