Lyrics

Hit and run, who is the love killer

Reflection on a sudden, impactful breakup or betrayal, questioning the identity of the one responsible for ending the relationship

Who ruined the music we thought was so special

Expressing disappointment in someone who spoiled the special connection shared through music

Like fire between us spent over and over

Comparing the intense emotions between the partners to fire, suggesting repetition and exhaustion of such experiences

Who emptied my bed and left me with nothing

Feeling abandoned and left with nothing after the end of the relationship


Hit and run, it came so sudden

Describing the sudden and unexpected nature of the breakup

From the mouth of the kiss that whispered forever

Referring to the source of betrayal as a kiss that promised eternal love

From the body of the soul that made my eyes listen

Highlighting the impact of the partner's actions on the soul and the listener's perception

I'm hearing goodbye but I don't want to listen

Acknowledging the painful reality of the relationship ending while resisting acceptance


Love will tear and do you in

Warning about the destructive power of love, which can lead to emotional turmoil

Turn you inside out and when

Describing how love can profoundly affect and change a person

All you got is less than dim

Expressing a state of emptiness and loss in the aftermath of love

You know, you're grabbin' at straws

Acknowledging the desperation and futility of seeking solace or solutions

And you'd do it again

Despite past pain, expressing a willingness to engage in the same experiences again


Hit and run, I never saw you coming

Reflecting on the surprise and lack of anticipation regarding the relationship's end

I ain't never play the part of the put down name

Rejecting the role of being the one who puts down or belittles the partner

Strip to the heart with all my revenges

Describing a vulnerability exposed through various acts of revenge

Laid across down the ground like master Vincent

Symbolizing vulnerability with a reference to "master Vincent" laid across the ground


Love will tear and do you in

Reiteration of the destructive power of love and its impact on the individual

Turn you inside out and when

Continuing the theme of love's impact, emphasizing the internal transformation it causes

All you got is less than dim

Expressing a sense of diminished value or worth after the end of the relationship

You know, you're grabbin' at straws

Highlighting the desperation and futility of grasping for solutions or understanding

And you'd do it again

Despite the challenges, expressing a willingness to repeat the experience


Hit and run, who is the love killer?

Repeating the initial questioning of the identity of the love killer

Who ruined the music we thought was so special?

Reiterating the disappointment in the destruction of a special connection through music

Like fire between us spent over and over

Recalling the repetitive and consuming nature of the intense emotions between partners

Who emptied my bed and left me with nothing

Reemphasizing the sense of loss and emptiness after the partner's departure


Hit and run

Repeating the title phrase, suggesting the cyclical nature of emotional hits and runs

I never saw you coming coming home

Expressing surprise at the suddenness of the partner's return home after the hit and run

Hit and run

Reiterating the theme of a hit and run, emphasizing its impact on the relationship

Hit and run, who is the love killer?

Repeating the question of who is responsible for the destructive act of love

Hit and run

Repeating the title phrase, highlighting the recurring nature of emotional hits and runs

Hit and run

Repetition for emphasis on the theme of sudden, damaging experiences in love


Hit and run

Repeating the title phrase, emphasizing the cyclical nature of emotional hits and runs

Expressing surprise at the partner's return home after the hit and run
