Cook, David - Death Of Me Lyrics






Cut through
You put me on the floor with the 1, 2
And I just keep on spinning at the thought of you
At the thought of you, oh
Number One
With a bullet like you're coming from a
Shotgun
You're lying when you tell me I'm the only one
Tell me I'm the only one, oh

You got me now, down and out, it's a battle
Bury me down underground
Your love's become my enemy
You're gonna be the death of me
Wind me up, fill your cup like a river
Drunk on watching me drown
Your love's become my enemy
You're gonna be the death of me

Breakdown
We're dancing to the music that don't
Make a sound
We keep mixing like the mud and a wedding gown
The mud and a wedding gown, oh
Nothing new
I fall apart at the very thought of
Me and you
We're running through each other 'til we're black and blue
'Til we're black and blue, oh

You got me now, down and out, it's a battle
Bury me down underground
Your love's become my enemy
You're gonna be the death of me
Wind me up, fill your cup like a river
Drunk on watching me drown
Your love's become my enemy
You're gonna be the death of me

Number One
With a bullet like you're coming from a
Shotgun
You're lying when you tell me I'm the only one
So tell me I'm the only one, oh

You got me now, down and out, it's a battle
Bury me down underground
Your love's become my enemy
You're gonna be the death of me
Wind me up, fill your cup like a river
Drunk on watching me drown
Your love's become my enemy
You're gonna be the death of me

You're gonna be the death of me

Cook, David Death Of Me Comments
  1. S.... ....

    I thought he's already retired in music industry. ALIVE

  2. C.... S....

    Great song, great beat. I like it. My two year old was jamming out to this in the background and said it’s her new favorite song. Lol good job COOKie!! Come back to Tulsa soon :)

  3. E.... B....

    Hi! Mr. David Cook. You are really an awesome guy with really awesome voice truly an American Idol.
    I think the reason for low views is not about the quality of the song... In fact the quality of the song you produced are really intense. however since it is intense it will not be suitable for everyday living... I think the genre of the song is best for movies.. Or maybe a very nice movie type music video will make it raise to the top! Thank you David for giving us great musics.

  4. l.... c....

    David cook IS AWESOME!!

  5. J.... P....

    He's like Jeremy Camp

  6. J.... w....

    I can see this as theme to a beginning of tv show it’s really that good well done

  7. M.... O....

    I've seen him live like 5 times... super good!

  8. B.... K....

    Compared to his earlier hits I found this song rather repetitious melodically. First he sings the melody in his chest voice in his lower register which is raspy around the edges. Then he sings the exact same melody without any variations in his head voice (high notes). This song has no real build up and big note. It's just the same melody sung low and then high and low again. Where's the drama, the goose bumps in that? David is capable of writing and singing songs better than that.

    BTW I believe it is possible to like an artist and still be critical when I know from past works that artist can do better.

  9. A.... B....

    I am so in love with this song. I just discovered this two days ago and so glad I came across it. So awesome!

  10. M.... K....

    😍😍😍

  11. C.... L....

    I love David, even got to meet and talk with him some years back (hugely doubt he'd recall, but it was about other Idol alums struggling and sinking and I asked him about his being into graphic design). Voted like mad for him to win Idol & loved / continuously played all of his music until Chromance was released. @OfficialDavidCook, I don't know if you care to hear it but this is coming from an adoring fan. You've got to really WANT to still do this. Your character was a big part of your appeal -- but it seems you switched to concentrating too much on doing graphic design and less on good song choices & showing yourself personally in your videos. Vids are a huge part of what gets people drawn in - we don't want to watch a bunch of text or cartooned images. We want to see YOU, with your eyes open again once in awhile when you sing (yes, I sound like Simon right now but it's out of love). The music has become passionless. It's like you quit, and it saddens me to no end. Even your newest release last year... all of what I'm saying applies. If you're too 'above it ALL', that shows and that's what it's seeming like. I saw Daughtry launch their newest tour this past winter & they caught a lot of grief in the change of style, but they utilized social media and did a lot of things right since then to help them re-grow their audience base WITH the new music. Adam Lambert I've seen on solo tour & he's recently given up the label he was with also and is releasing single solos. Sure, he gets some exposure with Queen, but he's also allowing them to still perform and I think he'd be making it without having done that at all. He's feeling a bit disenchanted with the industry biz, but he still loves his fans and it shows. Show your fans you care and that you still want to do this, if you do. My 2 cents, but I do know a little something about the 'biz'.

  12. k.... k....

    First time hearing this song and I'm like 🤯 How is DC not all over the radio today, winning Grammy Awards, and taking over the world!!!!! I'm immediately going to go purchase this song. KEEP CREATING MUSIC PLEASE!!

  13. C.... W....

    Had to come back to this awesome song. I love every song David writes.

  14. A.... M....

    I would bet my life if David did not get the idea of this song from “ Believer or Natural” by Imagine Dragons. If David will say no or deny it and that’s a huge LIE.
    Try singing along the whole lyrics of “ Believer or Natural” with this tune 🤪

  15. M.... B....

    Holy cow, I have been trying to find that one song, that one song that can perfectly sum up how I've been feeling for months and this is it..this is it EXACTLY!! I'm so pleased that you have continued with your music. You are truly talented

  16. H.... T....

    Ive been a fan of yours when I was a kid and whenever I am alone and my Wife is far the always song that comes to my head was "LIGHT ON" and i did not know you are still doing music til now. Keep it up I know someday you will have a shot again in th world! Keem em coming COOKIN!! From Philippines! Awuah

  17. a.... m....

    He is still my American Idol after all these years.

  18. S.... ....

    Damn son, it's about time we heard your voice again!!!!

  19. J.... B....

    David never fails to amaze me there is not a song that I don't like and his voice is Amazing and I agree with who ever said he is the most underrated Idol ever. They never give him any credit.

  20. J.... ....

    i wish there's gonna be a battle of idols like they did to AGT. David Cook is so underrated!

  21. r.... h....

    Same like Britney Spears - Womanizer

  22. E.... R....

    Underrated

  23. N.... T....

    Don’t you have a brother that’s a fifth grade teacher?Named Andrew,loves star wars(obsessed)Well I’m not in his class but I’m in Tierney’s class at JWE but you are good at singing!👍I still can’t believe that I know someone that’s related to a person that’s actually somewhat famous

  24. C.... W....

    Isso aqui ficou animal cara!!!!!!!!!!


    Legenda Brasil: 🇧🇷
    [Verso 1]
    Cortar
    Você me coloca no chão com o um, dois
    E eu continuo girando ao pensar em você
    Ao pensar em você, oh
    Número um
    Com uma bala como se você estivesse vindo de uma espingarda
    Você está mentindo quando me diz que sou o único
    Diga-me que sou o único, oh

    [Refrão]
    Você me pegou agora, para baixo e para fora, é uma batalha
    Me enterre no subsolo
    Seu amor se tornou meu inimigo
    Você vai ser a minha morte
    Enrole-me, encha sua taça como um rio
    Bêbado ao me ver afogar
    Seu amor se tornou meu inimigo
    Você vai ser a minha morte

    [Verso 2]
    Demolir
    Nós estamos dançando a música que não faz um som
    Nós continuamos misturando como a lama e um vestido de casamento
    A lama e um vestido de noiva, oh
    Nada de novo
    Eu desmorono ao pensar em mim e em você
    Estamos correndo um pelo outro até que fiquemos pretos e azuis
    Até estarmos pretos e azuis, oh.

    [Refrão]
    Você me pegou agora, para baixo e para fora, é uma batalha
    Me enterre no subsolo
    Seu amor se tornou meu inimigo
    Você vai ser a minha morte
    Enrole-me, encha sua taça como um rio
    Bêbado ao me ver afogar
    Seu amor se tornou meu inimigo
    Você vai ser a minha morte

    [Ponte]
    Número um
    Com uma bala como se você estivesse vindo de uma espingarda
    Você está mentindo quando me diz que sou o único
    Então me diga que eu sou o único, oh

    [Refrão]
    Você me pegou agora, para baixo e para fora, é uma batalha
    Me enterre no subsolo
    Seu amor se tornou meu inimigo
    Você vai ser a minha morte
    Enrole-me, encha sua taça como um rio
    Bêbado ao me ver afogar
    Seu amor se tornou meu inimigo
    Você vai ser a minha morte
    Você vai ser a minha morte
