I fell in love at second sight

The end of the night

Told you you're beautiful

Yeah, oh I want it too

Days are getting colder

Felt the Winter strangle the Fall

Your birthday, then Christmas

Another year has come and gone

Then it was Spring

And I couldn't wait

To take you out dancin'

The sickness, the darkness

Consume my forsaken soul

Then it was June

But you weren't around

I wanted to find you

You told me not to look so damn hard

But, I did

Like you right from the start

Your baby teeth just chewin'

And gnawing my heart

It just wouldn't let it go

I didn't want you to

Trimmed off my armor, my weapons

And denounced my faith

I'm comin' to get you

God be damned if He gets in my way

Cause if He does

I'll cut Him in thirds

I'll cough up a prayer for Him

My blood damns you Father, the Son

And the Holy Ghost

Then I'll wage war against anyone

That dares to stop me from...

I'll find you

I'll rescue

You from the light my love

Feel the heat of their blood on the side of my throat

I can't get their taste of my tongue

And I chew through the bones

Killed their kids burned their homes

I felt the sharp soot in my lungs

But you told me "no."

You left me because

You just couldn't love me

But baby, it's too late, they're all dead;

What the hell did I do?

What if you stayed?

What if you did?

What if you wanted to?

I'm sorry I loved you

It's all I think about...
