Lyrics

i work in the dead of night, when the roads are quiet, no one is around, to track my moves, racing the yellow lights, to find the gate is open, she's waiting in the room, i just step on through, you get in, you get done and then you get gone, you never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone, should've turned around and left before the sun came up again, but the sun came up again, enter the morning light, to find the day is burning the curtains and the wine, in a little white room, though i'm not alone, her head is heavy on me, she's sleeping like a child, what could i do, you get in, you get done and then you get gone, you never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone, should've turned around and left before the sun came up again, but the sun came up again, i was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen, i'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing, i'm an assassin and i had a job to do, little did i know that girl was an assassin too, suddenly i'm in over my head and i can hardly breathe, suddenly i'm floating over her bed and i feel everything, suddenly i know exactly what i did, but i can not move a thing, and suddenly i know exactly what i've done, and what it's gonna mean to me, mean to me, i'm gone, i was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen, i'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing, i'm an assassin and i had a job to do, little did i know that girl was an assassin too, she's an assassin, she's an assassin, she's an assassin, she's an assassin and she had a job to do
