Life & Death Lyrics - Billy Burnette

I found your note and that was all she wrote 

You might as well just have cut my throat 

You said, I'm doing this for your own sake 

And all of this has been a big mistake 

It doesn't matter what you think is best 

This is a matter of life and death 

You said, it hurts me more than it does you 

Then why am I turning all these shades of blue 

You had me thinkin' it was paradise 

All of a sudden it was cold, thin ice 

I've fallen under, trying to catch my breath 

This is a matter of life and death 

You set me up to let me down 

You took the love I couldn't live without 

Two fatal words 'Bye, Bye' 

Without your love you know I'll surely die 

I never begged for anything before 

I'm close to knockin' on St.Peter's door 

Come on baby, I'm down on my knees 

You know my heart will never rest in peace 

Grant me the only with that I have left 

This is a matter of life and death 

Don't kill the only one alive that loves you the best 

This is a matter of life and death
