[Verse 1]
Concrete hands picked up the telephone ring
"Do you know who you're talking to?"
"No, and I don't care who"
She whispered quiet terror news
He didn't give a hoot
Said, "Do what you have to do"
[Verse 2]
All she had to do was speak
Mouthpiece to cheek
"Please say no more
I'm lying here on the ground
A strip of wet concrete"
Her name was just a broken sound
A stutter step you hear when you're falling down
[Chorus]
Killing time won't stop this crying
Killing time won't stop this crying
Killing time won't stop this crying
[Verse 3]
You better start watching what message that you send out
No more situations I only go in to be kicked out
He got knocked down leaving like he ran into a clothesline
And remembered a couple of words that hid a crime
"You were just fine
You'll be just fine
But I'm on the other line"
[Chorus]
Killing time won't stop this crying
