Killing Everyone - Billy Burke

Wasn’t me that was coming to get you

I was already gone

You looked around for someone to protect you

Somebody else to lean on

You spent the night with that boy

Who promised you everything under the sun

And when you left with him

I could have killed everyone

I saw you out with him wasted as I was

What a sight for eyes so sore

Christ, I’d never thought you’d find me so helpless

I’m the one who always ignores

Jealousy and emotion

I can hide them so well I’ve been told

Though I was so composed

I could have killed everyone

I could have killed everyone

I could have killed everyone around me

But I’d hate to ruin anybody’s fun

If I’d have been someone else

And you would have still just been yourself

I swear that’s what I would have done

I would have killed everyone

I stayed away from you as long as I could

Wondering how and who you were doing now

It had to happen sometime

I walked in and saw you right where I’d left you

Taking seemingly innocent sips

Out of everyone’s glass but your own

I should have warned them all

But I just felt like killing everyone

I could have killed everyone

I could have killed everyone around me

But you know I’d hate to ruin anybody’s fun

If I’d have been someone else

And you would have still just been yourself

I swear that’s what I would have done

I would have killed everyone

Walked the streets tried to calm my libido

Paid the cab driver way more than I owed

To take me over to your place

So I could use your doormat as a pillow

I woke up completely sober

When all your friends started coming over

They wiped their feet on me, someone peed on me

You just stood there laughing

God, I could have killed everyone

I could have killed everyone around me

But you know I’d hate to ruin anybody’s fun

And if I’d have been someone else

And you would have still just been yourself

I swear that’s what I would have done

I would have killed everyone
