[Verse 1]

Over my dead body

The stars will let you know

It's over

Now, if I had my way

I would leave you here to waste your final days

Buried beneath

(With the possibility of how things could be)

Oh, please rest assured

This was not my fault and time is getting short

So, I'll be here if you want me

(Beaten and covered in a red so bloody)

Oh, my darling, can you hear?

My words so pure they burn your lying ears

[Chorus]

And so the story goes

When I leave

Will you let me go?

When the words stop coming

And the fear starts setting in slow

Don't let me find you hiding under the covers

It's your last chance, honey, better (Call your mother)

All hope is lost

Down in the gutter

[Verse 2]

When you're in your bed

Sleeping toward the void so deep it feels like death

Oh, don't you

(Wake, wake)

Oh, my love, I hear

Life holds nothing for us beyond our time in here

Oh, don't you dare turn your back on me

(No use running when the bad guy's coming)

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I think you've got me pegged as the wrong man

Oh, I think you've got me pegged

[Chorus]

And so the story goes

When I leave

Will you let me go?

When the words stop coming

And the fear starts setting in slow

Don't let me find you hiding under the covers

It's your last chance, honey, better (Call your mother)

All hope is lost

Down in the gutter

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, ah, ah, ah, ah

Ooh, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah

Ooh, ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ooh, ah

[Bridge]

We were better together

I know that much, oh, can't you see

Through the bad and the good

We had all the luck

The devil's got nothing on us

You and me

Baby, over my dead body

Baby, over my dead body

Baby, over my dead body

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

We're still counting on you

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

We'll keep counting on you

Mother, come on out

Show me what the world is all about

And we'll keep counting on you

Mother, come on out

Show me what the world is all about

And we'll keep fighting for you

We'll keep fighting for you

We'll keep fighting for you

We'll keep (We'll keep fighting)

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I think you've got me pegged as the wrong man

Oh, I think you've got me pegged

[Chorus]

And so the story goes

When I leave

Will you let me go?

When the words stop coming

And the fear starts setting in slow

Don't let me find you hiding under the covers

It's your last chance, honey, better (Call your mother)

All hope is lost

Down in the gutter
