[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
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

[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

[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

After getting dropped by Columbia Records at 18 years old, singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin built a following by playing in parking lots outside of Shawn Mendes and Troye Sivan concerts. The Phoenix, Arizona native caught the attention of Jon Bellion, earning a songwriting credit on Bellion’s debut album and later joined him on tour.

To build on the momentum, Benjamin began uploading new songs to his YouTube channel at a rapid clip and eventually earned on a viral hit with “I Built a Friend” and a deal with Atlantic Records.

Benjamin connects to listeners by incorporating using his life struggles to tell stories and give meaning to his songs. You can see this in “Let Me Down Slowly,” “Paper Crown,” “I Built a Friend,” “Death of a Hero,” and “If We Have Each Other.”
