Read the lyrics to “Love Kills” by Roberto Bellarosa. He’ll represent Belgium at Eurovision 2013.

The updated version:

The original version:

So the arrow shot right through her heart and brought her to the floor
And she fell so deep like she had never fell so deep before
But the pain was almost unbelievable
When the end was near she felt the fear alive, alive, alive

Waiting for the bitter pill, give me something I can feel
‘Cause love kills over and over, love kills over and over
Waiting for the bitter pill, something I can truly feel
‘Cause love kills over and over, love kills over and over again

‘Cause he didn’t fight for life when he was up against the wall
And he felt so scared so close to death, even though they had it all
There’s a lesson that you always have to learn
To the consequence of fire comes the burn

Waiting for the bitter pill, give me something I can feel
‘Cause love kills over and over, love kills over and over
Waiting for the bitter pill, something I can truly feel
‘Cause love kills over and over, love kills over and over again

One last, one last, one last prayer for life
Won’t you give me, give me hope tonight?

I’ll be waiting for the bitter pill, give me something I can feel
‘Cause love kills over and over, love kills over and over
Waiting for the bitter pill, something I can truly feel
‘Cause love kills over and over, love kills over and over again

Erm, the original version bears more than a passing resemblance to Sarah Whatmore – When I Lost You.

uhh, thats really bad. Cannot believe that Belgium has no better contestants than this one. Hopefully I will never hear this song again…

The song itself is pretty good, though it could use a slight remixing to pick up the pace, maybe a more intense beat. But poor Roberto…especially at that key change! Oof! At least he has lots of time to practice.
