What it is
"Your Love Is Killing Me" is the third track on Sharon Van Etten's 2014 album Are We There (Jagjaguwar), which she co-produced with Stewart Lerman; it was released as the album's fourth single in October 2014. Van Etten has described it as a song about loving someone so intensely that it becomes a kind of monster, a reflection on being in something together while showing the other person what they are doing to you.
