If Looks Could Kill Lyrics - Rodney Crowell

If today weren't just like any day, perhaps I'd try 

To shed 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 flames 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 on 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 

And 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 this 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
