    I'm sorry that I did this
    The blood is on my hands
    I stare at my reflection
    I don't know who I am
    Practice my confession
    In case I take the stand
    I'll say I learned my lesson
    I'll be a better man
    I'm packing up my things
    And I'm wiping down the walls
    I'm rinsing off my clothes
    And I'm walking through the halls
    I did it all for her
    So I felt nothing at all
    I don't know what she'll say
    So I'll ask her when she calls
    Would you love me more
    (Would you love me more)
    If I killed someone for you?
    Would you hold my hand?
    (Would you hold my hand?)
    They're the same ones that I used
    When I killed someone for you
    Would you turn me in
    (Would you turn me in)
    When they say I'm on the loose?
    Would you hide me when
    (Would you hide me when)
    My face is on the news?
    'Cause I killed someone for you
    I hear the sirens coming
    I see the flashing lights
    I'm driving through the suburbs
    Wearing my disguise
    I show up at her doorstep
    To look her in the eyes
    I tell her that it's me
    But she doesn't recognise
    Can't you see I'm running?
    Said I need a place to hide
    I've gotta ask you something
    Could you please let me inside?
    Just let me explain
    No, I wouldn't tell you lies
    I know you'll understand
    If you let me stay the night
    Would you love me more
    (Would you love me more)
    If I killed someone for you?
    Would you hold my hand?
    (Would you hold my hand?)
    They're the same ones that I used

    Would you hide me when
    (Would you hide me when)
    My face is on the news?
    'Cause I killed someone for you
    You have to understand that
    The one I killed is me
    Changing what I was
    For what you wanted me to be
    I followed your direction
    Did everything you asked
    I hope that makes you happy
    'Cause there's just no turning back
    Would you love me more

    Sorry that I did this
    The blood is on my hands
    I stare at my reflection
    I don't know who I am
    Practice my confession
    In case I take the stand
    I'll say I learned my lesson
    I'll be a better man
    I'm packing up my things
    And I'm wiping down the walls
    I'm rinsing off my clothes
    And I'm walking through the halls
    I did it all for her
    So I felt nothing at all
    I don't know what she'll say
    So I'll ask her when she calls
    Would you love me more
    Would you love me more
    If I killed someone for you?
    Would you hold my hand?
    Would you hold my hand?
    They're the same ones that I used
    When I killed someone for you
    Would you turn me in
    Would you turn me in
    When they say I'm on the loose?
    Would you hide me when
    Would you hide me when
    My face is on the news?
    'Cause I killed someone for you
    I hear the sirens coming
    I see the flashing lights
    I'm driving through the suburbs
    Wearing my disguise
    I show up at her doorstep
    To look her in the eyes
    I tell her that it's me
    But she doesn't recognize
    Can't you see I'm running?
    Said I need a place to hide
    I've gotta ask you something
    Could you please let me inside?
    Just let me explain
    No I wouldn't tell you lies
    I know you'll understand
    If you let me stay the night
    Would you love me more
    Would you love me more
    If I killed someone for you?
    Would you hold my hand?
    Would you hold my hand?
    They're the same ones that I used
    When I killed someone for you
    Would you turn me in
    Would you turn me in
    When they say I'm on the loose?
    Would you hide me when
    Would you hide me when
    My face is on the news?
    'Cause I killed someone for you
    You have to understand that
    The one I killed is me
    Changing what I was
    For what you wanted me to be
    I followed your direction
    Did everything you asked
    I hope that makes you happy
    'Cause there's just no turning back
    Would you love me more
    Would you love me more
    If I killed someone for you?
    Would you hold my hand?
    Would you hold my hand?
    They're the same ones that I used
    When I killed someone for you
    Would you turn me in
    Would you turn me in
    When they say I'm on the loose?
    Would you hide me when
    Would you hide me when
    My face is on the news?

    There should be Zero dislikes! From everything, the visuals, the lyrics, the cinematography, the emotion and use of shadows and saturation to convey the feelings necessary to showcase in this track!
    This is some superb work! Alec is so underrated. His music deserves all the recognition. His voice is incredibly rare unique and a one of a kind! His music is special, and his art would greatly contribute to the music industry and be the first Alec Benjamin not the next Troye, or Billie.

    [Verse 1]
    I'm sorry that I did this
    The blood is on my hands
    I stare at my reflection
    I don't know who I am
    Practice my confession
    In case I take the stand
    I'll say I learned my lesson
    I'll be a better man
    I'm packing up my things and
    I'm wiping down the walls
    I'm rinsing off my clothes and
    I'm walking through the halls
    I did it all for her
    So I felt nothing at all
    I don't know what she'll say
    So I'll ask her when she calls
    [Chorus]
    Would you love me more (Would you love me more)
    If I killed someone for you?
    Would you hold my hand (Would you hold my hand)
    They're the same ones that I used
    When I killed someone for you
    Would you turn me in (Would you turn me in)
    When they say I'm on the loose?
    Would you hide me when (Would you hide me when)
    My face is on the news?
    'Cause I killed someone for you
    [Verse 2]
    I hear the sirens coming
    I see the flashing lights
    I'm driving through the suburbs
    Wearing my disguise
    I show up at her doorstep

    Would you turn me in (Would you turn me in)
    When they say I'm on the loose?
    Would you hide me when (Would you hide me when)
    My face is on the news?
    'Cause I killed someone for you
    [Bridge]
    You have to understand that
    The one I killed is me
    Changing what I was
    For what you wanted me to be
    I followed your direction
    Did everything you asked
    I hope it makes you happy
    'Cause there's just no turning back
    [Chorus]
    Would you love me more (Would you love me more)
    If I killed someone for you?
    Would you hold my hand (Would you hold my hand)
    They're the same ones that I used
    When I killed someone for you
    Would you turn me in (Would you turn me in)
    When they say I'm on the loose?
    Would you hide me when (Would you hide me when)
    My face is on the news?
    'Cause I killed someone for you
