Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Before the story begins
Is it such a sin
For me to take what's mine
Until the end of time?
We were more than friends
Before the story ends
And I will take what's mine
Create what God would never design
[Verse 2]
Our love had been so strong for far too long
I was weak with fear that something would go wrong
Before the possibilities came true
I took all possibility from you
[Verse 3]
Almost laughed myself to tears
Conjuring her deepest fears (Come here, you fucking bitch)
[Verse 4]
Must have stabbed her fifty fucking times
I can't believe it
Ripped her heart out right before her eyes
Eyes over easy, eat it, eat it, eat it
[Verse 5]
She was never this good in bed, even when she was sleeping
Now, she's just so perfect, I've never been quite so fucking deep in
[PreChorus]
It goes on and on and on
I can keep you looking young and preserved forever
With a fountain to spray on your youth whenever
[Chorus]
'Cause I really always knew that my little crime would be cold
That's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time but bye-bye
And a word to the wise, when the fire dies
You think it's over, but it's just begun
[Chorus]
Baby, don't cry
'Cause you had my heart, at least for the most part
'Cause everybody's gotta die some time
We fell apart, let's make a new start
'Cause everybody's gotta die some time, yeah, yeah
But baby, don't cry
[Verse 6]
Now possibilities I'd never considered
Are occurring, the likes of which I'd never heard
Now, an angry soul comes back from beyond the grave
To repossess a body with which I misbehave
[Verse 7]
Smiling right from ear to ear
Almost laughed herself to tears
[Verse 8]
Must have stabbed him fifty fucking times
I can't believe it
Ripped his heart out right before his eyes
Eyes over easy, eat it, eat it, eat it (Eat the shit out of it)
[Verse 9]
Now that it's done, I realize the error of my ways
I must venture back to apologize from somewhere far beyond the grave
[PreChorus]
I gotta make up for what I've done
'Cause I was all up in a piece of heaven
While you burned in hell, no peace forever
[Chorus]
'Cause I really always knew that my little crime would be cold
That's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time but bye-bye
And a word to the wise, when the fire dies
You think it's over, but it's just begun
[Chorus]
But baby, don't cry
You had my heart, at least for the most part
'Cause everybody's gotta die some time
We fell apart, let's make a new start
'Cause everybody's gotta die some time, yeah, yeah
But baby, don't cry
[Bridge]
I will suffer for so long
What will you do? Not long enough
To make it up to you
I pray to God that you do
I'll do whatever you want me to do
Well then, I'll grant you one chance
And if it's not enough
If it's not enough, if it's not enough
If it's not enough
Not enough
Try again
Try again
And again
And again
Over and over again
[Bridge]
We're coming back, coming back
We'll live forever, live forever
Let's have a wedding, have a wedding
Let's start the killing, start the killing
[Verse 10]
Do you take this man to death
For the rest of your unnatural life?
Yes, I do
Do you take this woman to death
For the rest of your unnatural life?
I do
I now pronounce you
[Chorus]
'Cause I really always knew that my little crime would be cold
That's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time but bye-bye
And a word to the wise, when the fire dies
You think it's over, but it's just begun
[Chorus]
But baby, don't cry
You had my heart, at least for the most part
'Cause everybody's gotta die some time
We fell apart, let's make a new start, oh
'Cause everybody's gotta die some time, yeah, yeah
But baby, don't cry
