Lyrics
[Intro]
Your nails, your teeth, your face, your lies
When I'm with you, I feel like I could die
[Verse 1]
Shut the fuck up and make me fucking cry
The secret to my heart is not a poem or a line
So quit acting so sweet, I don't want a hug
'Cause my love language is violence, baby, squash me like a bug
[PreChorus]
I like to suffer, I'm not ashamed
I'm into torture and I'm never gonna change
I know you wanna pick me up when you see me on the ground
But, uh, I'll get aroused if you kick me while I'm down
[Chorus]
Oh, if you want it, then you oughta snuff me out
Oh, are you ready for me, ready for me now?
[Verse 2]
Some whips and chains, maybe a shackle or two
Until I'm shaking like Parkinson's from your black leather boots
Paint me with all fifty shades of Grey's Anatomy till I'm happy in agony too
'Cause love is too good to be true, unless it's you
[PreChorus]
I'm into pressure, I'm into pain
I need a doctor if I carry on this way
You tell me that you love me, but I don't think you know how
'Cause if you really mean it, then you better kill me now
[Chorus]
Oh, if you want it, then you oughta snuff me out
Oh, are you ready for me, ready for me now?
Oh, if you want it, then you oughta snuff me out
Oh, are you ready for me, ready for me now?
[Bridge]
Damn it, it's bold, reverse the roles
All I do is what I'm told
Make a vow to take me down
Now are you ready for me, ready for me now?
Now are you ready for me, ready for me now?
Now are you ready for me, ready for me now?
[Bridge]
In this part of the song
Badflower intended to insert a short sample of a popular song from the 1990s
But they were unable to get in touch with the copyright holder
So rather than risk litigation
They decided to remove the sample and insert this instead
[Chorus]
Oh, if you want it, then you oughta snuff me out
Oh, are you ready for me, ready for me now, now, now?
Oh, if you want it, then you oughta snuff me out
Oh, are you ready for me, ready for me now?
[Outro]
Oh, if you want it, then you oughta snuff me out
Are you ready for me, ready for me, ready for me?
Oh, are you ready for me, ready for me now?
