Kill your darlings

But don’t kill your sweethearts

Cause sweethearts

Talk sweet

Kill your darlings

Like an unnecessary storyline

And a main character

That deserves it

Kill your darlings

Cause no matter how much it hurts

It’ll hurt someone else

More than you

Kill your darlings

But don’t kill your sweethearts

For your sweethearts 

Are what hurt you

So kill your darlings

They’ll never know it’s coming

Kill your darlings

For your darlings sweet lives

They say kill your darlings

But darling

You killed me

So darling, your kill.
