Emeli Sandé - Kill The Boy Lyrics






I walk around with a bullet on my tongue,
Killer written on my face
I know that when he finds out what I've done,
It's gonna take his life away

And his heart will break and once the pain will stop the beating,
Skin will turn as cold as ice.
When his lungs collapse enough will there be no more breathing?
I will gently close his eyes.

It's gonna kill, kill the boy.
I'm a kill, kill the boy.
I'm a kill, kill the boy.
I'm a kill, kill the boy, tonight
Alright [x3]

I walk around with murder in my eyes
I'm gonna turn my baby blue
I practiced in the mirror hundred times
But still can't bring myself to shoot

See his heart will break and once the pain will stop the beating
Skin will turn as cold as ice
When his lungs collapse enough will there be no more breathing?
I will gently close his eyes

It's gonna kill, kill the boy.
I'm a kill, kill the boy.
I'm a kill, kill the boy.
I'm a kill, kill the boy, tonight
Alright [x3]

I'm in the kitchen when he gets back home,
I hide the knife behind my back.
My hands are shaking when he smiles at me,
The only way he can react

See his heart will break and once the pain will stop the beating
Skin will turn as cold as ice
When his lungs collapse enough will there be no more breathing?
I will gently close his eyes

It's gonna kill, kill the boy.
I'm a kill, kill the boy.
I'm a kill, kill the boy.
I'm a kill, kill the boy, tonight
Alright [x3]

Kill the boy [x2]

It's gonna kill, kill the boy.
I'm a kill, kill the boy.
I'm a kill, kill the boy.
I'm a kill, kill the boy, tonight
Alright [x3]

It's gonna kill, kill the boy
Kill, kill the boy tonight,
Tonight
Alright
Alright...

Emeli Sandé Kill The Boy Comments
  1. A.... ....

    Thank you for being a powerful listener, thank you for being an artist that has music mirror that reflection of how powerful a sound can truly be in so many ways. The meaning, the words , the inspiration that brings one to take something so powerful, and paint beautiful...

  2. �.... �....

    This reminds me of dark times

  3. M.... J....

    Brilliant song. Dark, profoundly beautiful lyrics

  4. K.... S....

    Just WOW!

  5. H.... ....

    Lol at some of these comments. Some of you need to look up the word metaphor.

  6. K.... L....

    there's no need to bring down other artist to praise another

  7. L.... F....

    I have been listening to this song for 45 minutes, this is pure genius...Einstein's relativity theory for music....Emeli, would you marry me?

  8. m.... ....

    Why the hell am I 4 years late on this....insane talent

  9. j.... ....

    Beyonce Rihanna who???? EMELI SANDE reminds me of what music was always supposed to be....trash trashed real music Emeli brought it back.

    j.... ....

    BEYONCE GISELLE KNOWLES-CARTER & ROBYN FENTY! that's who! Learn to give credit w/o bringing in other people. Emile is an amazing singer. Don't take away her shine by bringing in other people. That just takes away from what you are trying to say because stans like myself will have something to say when their Fav is involved.

    j.... ....

    +S scott definitely a Stan with that comment

    j.... ....

    @Jamilah Wallace lol

  10. l.... ....

    what is it about?

    l.... ....

    A guy who won't 'survive' Emeli telling him she's breaking up with him...

    l.... ....

    it's about her cheating on her boyfriend and deciding to tell him 

  11. D.... K....

     simply amazing

  12. M.... L....

    Love her style.  This is a favorite of mine.

  13. M.... C....

    I think she's talking about her having cheated on him and she's going to tell him.

  14. D.... L....

    Someone said she sounded like Beyonce.  But this girl can sing,  Beyonce has money and a crew....this girl has talent.  BIG DIFFERENCE.

    D.... L....

    I agree I do not hear Beyoncé in her at all. Beyoncé can sing but I think Emeli overall has a better voice because she sings effortlessly recorded and even better live.

  15. e.... e....

    When your hearts start racing from love and fear at the same means you have a tune. Emeli reaches a place no other active artist right now. Nina Simone be damned this girl is destined to be the greatest ever.

  16. S.... R....

    fabulous!!!

  17. s.... ....

    I think it's one of her own songs.

  18. j.... j....

    love this... is this a cover or one of Emeli's own songs? never heard it before

  19. H.... ....

    Beautiful voice..strong..and homie was nice w/ the acoustic

  20. T.... T....

    Impaccble love

  21. T.... T....

    Omg. Most beautiful song I've ever heard. Your voice is impeccW.

  22. T.... K....

    Simply amazingly breath-taking!!! Oh my word.

  23. M.... G....

    Love the song. But I can't help but wonder what could the boy possible have done to deserve such a dark and twisted end.

  24. S.... H....

    What?!!!! Damn, this woman can sing!!!

  25. A.... L....

    LOVE LOVE LOVE <333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333
