Murder, murder she wrote
My blood spills all over the pages
And my last breath is a quote
I say that I love you, my dying wish, girl, can you hold me close?
I’m going six feet underground, where you left me
I’m going deep hope I don’t drown ’cause you’re air, baby
Girl, you a stone cold killer
I’ma need a body bag, pulling on my zipper
Now I’m floating to the other side, with all the lies in your eyes
All these tears are coming down, now you realize, you committed a homicide
Baby, you had the gun and then you pulled the trigger, one shot put me down
So now I’m floating on the other side (Other side, other side), for you I’d do or die (Oh)
I’d drink, I’d smoke, I’d cry, I’d die for you
Drink, I’d smoke, I’d cry, I’d die for you
I’d drink, I’d smoke, I’d cry, I’d die for you
Drink, I’d smoke, I’d cry, I’d die for you
Baby, don’t hold back, don’t hold back
It’s your chance, if you can, let you take my life away
It’s my life in your hands
And girl, I need mouth to mouth, baby, I need CPR
I’m going six feet underground (Yeah), where you left me (Six feet)
I’m going deep hope I don’t drown (Oh) ’cause you’re air, baby (Air, babe)
Girl, you a stone cold killer (Yeah, girl)
And I’ma need a body bag, pulling on my zipper
(And now, I’m floating to the other side)
Now I’m floating to the other side, with all the lies in your eyes (Ayy)
All these tears are coming down (Coming down), now you realize, you committed a homicide
Baby, you had the gun and then you pulled the trigger, one shot put me down
So now I’m floating on the other side (Other side, other side), for you I’d do or die (Oh)
I’d drink, I’d smoke, I’d cry, I’d die for you
Drink, I’d smoke, I’d cry, I’d die for you
Girl, I’d drink, I’d smoke, I’d cry, I’d die for you
Drink (I’d die for you), I’d smoke, I’d cry, I’d die for you (Ow!)
Hold on, heavenly father, let me get back to my love
I wanna hold on, I don’t wanna leave
Girl, I want to stay here ’til the end of life until for me
Girl, I wanna learn to love, how to love, deep in the clouds tryna come down, now, my love
Now I’m floating to the other side (Floating), with all the lies in your eyes (Lies)
All these tears are coming down, now you realize, you committed a homicide
Baby, you had the gun and then you pulled the trigger (Ooh), one shot put me down
So now I’m floating on the other side (Other side, other side), for you I’d do or die (Oh)
I’d drink, I’d smoke, I’d cry, girl, I’d die for you
Drink, I’d smoke, I’d cry, I’d die for you
I’d drink, I’d smoke, I’d cry, I’d die for you (Oh whoa)
Drink, I’d smoke, I’d cry, I’d die for you (Whoa)
Unpacking Love and Heartbreak in “Die For You”
Chris Brown’s “Die For You” dives headfirst into the raw and turbulent emotions of a love that feels all-consuming—even fatal. The lyrics employ vivid imagery, comparing heartbreak to a physical demise, as Brown confesses he’d do anything for his lover, even at the cost of his own life. References to “homicide” and “pulling the trigger” dramatize the sense of betrayal and pain, yet the chorus, with its repeated pledges to drink, smoke, cry, and die, highlights the depth of his devotion. This song captures the tragic beauty of loving someone so deeply that self-sacrifice seems inevitable. The emotional tension between desire and devastation is palpable, making this track a powerful anthem for anyone who’s loved intensely and lost.
