Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The blade of my knife faced away from your heart
Those last few nights, it turned and sliced you apart
This love that I tell, now feels lonely as hell
From this padded prison cell
[Verse 2]
So many times, I said, "You'd only be mine"
I gave my blood, and my tears and loved you, cyanide
When you took my lips
I took your breath
Sometimes love's better off dead
[Verse 3]
You're all I need (Make you only mine)
I loved you (So I set you free, I had to take your life)
All I need (You're all I need)
You're all I need and I love you so
But you didn't love me
[Verse 4]
Laid out cold, now we're both alone
But killin' you helped me keep you at home
I guess it was bad
'Cause love can be sad
But we finally made the news
[Verse 5]
Tied up smiling, I thought you were happy
Never opened your eyes, I thought you were napping
I got so much to learn about love in this world
But we finally made the news
[Verse 6]
You're all I need (Make you only mine)
I loved you (So I set you free, I had to take your life)
You're all I need (You're all I need)
You're all I need and I love you so
So I put you to sleep
[Verse 7]
You're all I need (Make you only mine)
(You're all I need)
You're all I need (All I need)
You're all I need (All I need)
[Verse 8]
You're all I need, you're all I need
(You're all I need, you're all I need)
You're all I need
