Jason Mraz - If It Kills Me Lyrics






Hello, tell me you know
Yeah, you figured me out
Something gave it away
It would be such a beautiful moment
To see the look on your face
To know that I know that you know now

And baby that's a case of my wishful thinking
You know nothing
Well you and I
Why, we go carrying on for hours on end
We get along much better
Than you and your boyfriend

[Chorus:]
Well all I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can't say it after all we've been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me

How long, can I go on like this,
Wishing to kiss you,
Before I rightly explode?
This double life I lead isn't healthy for me
In fact it makes me nervous
If I get caught I could be risking it all

Cause maybe there's a lot that I miss
In case I'm wrong

[Chorus]

If I should be so bold
I'd ask you to hold my heart in your hand
I'd tell you from the start how I've longed to be your man
But I never said a word
I guess I'm gonna miss my chance again

All I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can't say it after all we've been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
I think it might kill me

And all I really wanna do is to feel you
Yeah, the feeling inside keeps building
I'll find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
It might kill me

  2. J.... H....

    I’ve seen a few comments saying people are misinterpreting the song even though music is a form of art and art depends on the person, so yeah.

  3. A.... B....

    For JNH please listen to this !!!

  4. M.... C....

  8. H.... K....

    I came from JK house bgm music

  9. S.... A....

    Heey heey princess anne pin***, hey beeess!! I just wanna say I ALREADY FELL INLOVE WITH YOI AND I CANT HELP. MYSELF JEEEEZ!! ILOVEYOU SO MUCCHH!! BUT I KNOW YOU DONT FEEL THE SAME WAY TOO 😞 BUT HMM ITS OKAY THO!! DONT CARE AS LONG AS I CAN SEE YOU HAPPY IM FINE WITH IT, BUT IF EVER YOU FIND THIS COMMENT I HOPE YOU LISTEN TO THIS SONG BECAUSE OF ME. ILOVEYOU BUDDY

  10. H.... C....

    This song just hits me in the heart everytime I listen to it, it hits me on a personal note. I'm not the only person feeling like this, being in love with a close friend

  11. R.... S....

    " but i still can't say it after all we've been through " 😫

  12. b.... c....

    2019 and still listening to this song. I don't care about the new songs they lack meaning.

  13. M.... A....

    "And I will find a way to you if it kills me " this phrase is such a big waaaawww

  14. A.... F....

    Ah karanfilim, bu şarkıyı sana armağan ediyorum.

  15. C.... M....

    Lmao, Jason Mraz is such a Yandere

  16. P.... S....

    I should've kept it. I lost her. I lost the best friend I fell in love with.

  17. a.... p....

    Jorah Mormont of House Friendzone joined the chat...

    a.... p....

    lol too savage

  18. S.... W....

    It might just kill me...

  19. K.... ....

    I'm living something like this because we were bestest friends and I got feelings for her but we dated for 3 months before she broke up with me telling me that she never had harbored feelings for me in the first place and it killed me because I love her and I tried to be friends with her but she keeps treating me like crap and I haven't talked to her in a while because her new boyfriend hates me and It hurts and I just don't know what to do anymore

  20. S.... S....

    This! My best friend and I are crazy close and this is exactly how I feel about her.

  21. J.... C....

    I feel like people are ACTUALLY misinterpreting the meaning of the song. It's NOT about "being friend zoned." It's about being in *love* with your closest friend. So, how is that any different and why does the distinction matter? Because, the generations before us have shaped us to think that ALL of our lives boil down like this: you get a degree, you get a job, you get married, and you go from there. I'd bet MILLIONS of people are only getting married now for the social status. I'd also bet that they're only buying expensive cars and houses so they can tell their friends in the break room about it. Nothing is special anymore. Or so it seems. But sometimes, if you are lucky, you meet that somebody. That someone that connects with you like no one else ever has. You can talk about ANYTHING with this person. You want to spend time with them. They are special. Now, imagine that that special someone is taken. You both have built such a bond together, but you can't be together. THAT'S what this song is about. Not just some temporary attraction with an end goal of getting in their pants, but an actual desire to be with them because you love them. When it comes to those contrived marriages, the problem seems to be that people are only pursuing partners for the sake of getting married, or having kids. They don't necessarily have to be CLOSE to their partner. That's what your close friends are for, right? Why else is there specifically a "girls/ boys night out?" To get AWAY from your partner. So, why even bother getting married in the first place? Just for the social status? To maintain the delusion that you are actually with that special someone? Why settle like that? If you've found that special someone, but you're not with them, then what's the point of continuing? I guess that's the question, isn't it? Oh I really wish more people had the same desires as a hopeless romantic like me, but with some of these comments, it *really* does seem like we are working towards a very cold and formulaic future. Deprived of passion and empathy. And *that's* a very scary thing to comprehend...

    J.... C....

    beautiful.

    J.... C....

    Wow. Beautifully put.

    J.... C....

    that is really deep

    J.... C....

    Love this.

  22. D.... R....

    Love increases your chance of experiencing hate.

  23. L.... T....

    Boy, this reminds me of 2013 when I was in love with my best friend and he had a girlfriend. He broke up with that girlfriend, loved me back, we dated for years until we were parted, he left me for another, I hate him right now and yet, this reminds me of 2013, when I listened to it and felt all the pain in my heart.

    L.... T....

    Haha I experienced this two years ago. I was her go to guy. Cries to me almost every night, and she always said that she cant just go to sleep without saying goodnight to me and me to her. She had wet my shirt from crying a lot of times. She told me about her love problems, but I was just.... There. Never left her, never thoight about it. Till she dumped me as a friend for a reason she cant say. And I actually feel sorry for her, now they say that she aint herself. Always alone and always pissed. I feel sorry for her, cause they said that she wont talk bout any of her pains no more.

  24. D.... P....

    This reminds me of Pam and Jim from the office

  25. �.... ....

    Anyone in 2018??

  26. A.... S....

    Shane’s “Why was I born” video brought me here

  27. L.... C....

  30. L.... H....

    this song kills me

  31. B.... t....

    For some reason this doesn't sound like Jason Mraz to me

  32. H.... 9....

    All time fave, coz someone dedicated me this song yearssss ago <3

  33. A.... H....

    You have to follow your own self. Take the risk because obviously if you aren't happy in the situation you're in now yes it may be taking a big gamble leap of faith. Take that risk it make you happy in the end💙💙💜💙💙

  34. M.... V....

    Que música lixa

  35. P.... R....

    "This is the billing office for Tricity medical center calling for Taylor Swift." "I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now. Why? Cuz she's dead!"

  36. p.... ....

    irem dericiden gelen kaç kişi vardır

  37. M.... p....

    This seems like the perfect song to commit suicide to

    M.... p....

    That was so e D g Y I could've cut myself with it

  38. P.... C....

    These song makes life worth living and loving! This suits me best because I'm in love with my best friend since grade 5 :)

    Wow. Sherwin Wiliams has a tv commercial with someone singing a song that is 1000% a rip-off of If it kills me! Look for it. I'd sue.

  53. J.... B....

    Man I feel this... with all of my friends.

    J.... B....

    JoJosGuide To happy life

    J.... B....

    Haha yeah kind of. They are all so cute! And great, and I feel so attracted to them. ❤

  54. l.... u....

    this song was one of my favorite.. 🎧🎧🎧still luv it

  55. G.... B....

    I got out the friend zone. Been dating her for almost 20 months now.
    Yes, I'm happy. This song describes how I felt during that last week in the friend zone.

    I didn't tell her though. Telling her won't do shit. You gotta be so damn confident around her, in everything you do, and don't hesitate to make her a little jealous, but do it discretely - don't make it obvious.
    Lots of attention one day, barely any attention the next day.
    If you're bad at flirting, here's a tip:
    Start with the ones you don't find attractive at all. Once you get comfortable flirting with them, it won't feel any different flirting with the ones you like.

    Good luck and god speed.

    G.... B....

    +Shadow81961 Aight my bitter friend, let me break this down for you:
    1. At no point did I say being a nice guy is a bad idea. Being a fake ass "nice guy" fuckboy is what I hate.
    2. At no point did I say women are not people. your simply assuming that because I actually bother to learn what a woman's instinct derives about men from their behaviour.
    It isn't offensive to use what you know about human behaviour to achieve something.
    3. Neither I nor my "community" in general believe in Santa. A for effort with that distraction though.
    4. I reiterate, telling the girl outright is almost* always a bad idea.

    I look forward to your reply. My commute to university is quite boring and I would enjoy some comedic relief.

    G.... B....

    the friend zone does not exist

    G.... B....

    Happy for you. Im not

    G.... B....

    Gagan Baath Sudhr ja. Abhi time hain

    G.... B....

    I'm gonna be real honest here, this sounds kinda fucked up. That said, this is probably the best advice I've heard. Use what you got to try and show her how you feel. Anyone can say anything and it's not gonna mean too much in this day and age, too many people lie. Use your intelligence, "what you know about human psychology" and try to convince her you're a good mate. In the end, approach her like an actual human being who wants a relationship, not like a whiny crybaby who expects things to be handed to them. For those who thinks this is evil or cunning, then try to think about how relationships are formed in the first place. They are created by chemical reactions in the brain that make you feel good with the other person, attraction, and hormones that make you seem like a good mate, reproduction. Natural and non thought out dating generally ends up bad for both parties. Romantic endings are created, love stories are not just gonna happen to you and your love like they happen in the movies. Obviously, don't try and be deceptive or do it because she lacks "intelligence". Just approach the one you love like a problem and do your best to solve it. Don't be dumb and expect things to fall in your lap. I hate how media portrays love as this thing that just has to happen and how being smart makes you a bad guy. In truth, using your brain in trying to get the girl your in love with is probably the best thing you can do for both of you.

  56. A.... O....

    I wish I could find loove! XD lol! JK??

  57. B.... D....

    Good song

  58. m.... ....

  59. M.... A....

    You use the word THEN a lot of times when it should be THAN. Its just changes the meaning of the song.

  60. S.... K....

    Is it just me or is it different ??

  61. T.... T....

    Great song.  I was waiting for the lead guitar by the bridge ala Bryan Mays.

  62. S.... T....

    S.... T....

    +Evan Tandra she hit me with "LMFAO" and blocked me....

    S.... T....

    Evan Tandra so true

    S.... T....

    “Well how do we stop it?” He then came up with ways to make me fall out of love with him and it’s not working :))

  63. K.... A....

    the feeling it does keep building

  64. A.... ....

    Is this video out of time for anyone else

  65. M.... ....

    You're not in the friendzone. You're in a friendship.

    M.... ....

    which is even worse

  66. H.... A....

    sorry to say but half of the views on here are because of shane dawson from his video "Why was I Born"

  67. A.... -....

  68. r.... K....

  71. T.... H....

    T.... H....

    +GM Seth thank you for being so responsible I owe you

    T.... H....

    J.... A....

    Now at 2.1 haha

  77. A.... M....

    This is so a guy towards me

  78. K.... ....

    For all the people whining about being in a friend-zone, it's your own damn fault. If you see someone as a romantic object more than a friend, tell them because that is what you want out of them, not friendship. Don't cry because the other person just automatically doesn't throw themselves at you romantically simply because of your presence.
    Some people are just not going to be attracted to you, even if you are attracted to them. Move on. Why waste your time and affections on people who don't want them?
    I think people just like feeling like victims, and it annoys the shit out of me.

    K.... ....

    Easy to said hard to do bruh

    K.... ....

    Sometimes you get Friend-zoned even after confessing your feelings. There is no answer for a really long while, and till you finally get the answer... Boom. Welcome to the Friend-Zone. Most don't feel like victims but it still hurts from the inside. For a long time

    K.... ....

    I think it's okay to feel hurt and miserable about it but never hate the person for not loving you back, that's just selfish. What if someone strongly loves you but you can never reciprocate? That's also a problem and being in a relationship with someone you don't love is miserable to both you and your lover.

    K.... ....

    Fuck that! Keep trying! If it were easy it would be a waste of ones time and talent!
    Keep up the good work bro! I know it's hard!

  79. H.... S....

    For my beautiful lady Linda

  84. C.... D....

    Lol i heard the beginnig of this song when it says "this is the tri-city medical center" and i live in the tri-cities haha

  85. P.... R....

    Nice song

  86. C.... B....

    People say "This song describes me!" all the time. In my case it's true very I have a long time friend that I'm in love with who has a boyfriend who doesn't get along with her as well as me and I told her I like her but she just sees me as a friend so all I want to do is try to make her see what I see. I'm going insane!!

  87. P.... R....

    This is one of them songs that u should NOT listen to before football practice

    P.... R....

    I actually did listen to this song not a while back before my football practice. Worst practice I ever had, especially since I'm a Linebacker. Trying to take out the Running-Back or going to block an inside pass is hard to do when you can't think straight and your feelings are down.

    P.... R....

    +Petra Rainbolt or when 2mr is the final exam

  88. A.... G....

    Same here dude. I've actually had this someone in mind for many many yearz now

  89. S.... H....

  90. B.... C....

    These lyrics are so powerful. Every time i listen to this i understand small things he says that make sometimes give me chills because of how accurate it is this should be a more popular song. thanks you jason mraz for being the most thought out, poetic singer ive ever heard

  91. C.... V....

    I am wish I had a girlfriend. I have someone in mind.....

  94. M.... R....

    How funny, the lyrics of this song speak to my current crush fantasy, it's like it answers to the questions of my misguided heart........uh but, such is the first nature of unrequited love :-) x0x

  95. m.... ....

    if you think the friend zone doesn't exist, you have never been in it.

    m.... ....

    Its a scary place to ever be in... Stay far away from it...!

    m.... ....

    Worst place to be.

  96. R.... A....

    i'd definitely date you! AHAHA
