## **Lyrics**

**[Verse 1]**

Your wedding day outside the church

You'll find me right beside the curve

Kicking stones and thinking of

How I'm the one you're supposed to love

Then a man pulls up and whistles

As he hands over the pistol

Now I'm stepping through the aisle

Pointing this modern sword to your smile

The sword is in my hands, it's over your head

I strike down a sweet good night, you used to be the friend of me

Now you became an enemy, now everybody's letting me know

You're not worth the pain, this rose is for your grave

He standing in this tux, with his plans to destruct

This man is scared enough, with his hands covered in blood

Cause he killed you now, he failed you out

His gun's raised up, you can feel the sound

I'm ready for whatever, I'm even ready for war

But if you want to get together, we can settle the score

Why is it that your laughter is always the greatest force

Is like momma and daddy would begin to play the stone

I refuse to be the last one to take your fall

My innocent reactions are all based on

Not just an exquisite passion, touching

Fucking, with a little bit of action

If you think I'm going to need your smile

You better think again, baby breathe it out

A walking, talking contradiction

The life was real but the gun was fiction

**[Chorus]**

This time it's over, the days get colder

I seen it coming, I seen you running

To be this lonely, is it the only thing

That I can't take, it's what I can't make

I hear your laughter, my heart beats faster

You are far from an angel

I'll close the casket, you'll hear me gasping

Finally breathing, now that you're leaving

**[Verse 2]**

If I get laid on, I'm telling you this set off

I'll be cutting your head off, the machete's in the trunk

I don't think you realize the protection that I need

To see it in your eyes to bite my neck 'til I bleed

Put you for the vampire killing like a landslide

But you can't hide

It's not rational, I have to go

Who would end their lives with somebody like you

You put so many lies and you never admit it, so I can end your life and never regret it

You might possibly be stopping me from winning the big love lottery

But obviously you've gotta be feeling trapped and not as free

Cause Romeo has fled the scene

**[Chorus]**

This time it's over, the days get colder

I seen it coming, I seen you running

To be this lonely, is it the only thing

That I can't take, it's what I can't make

I hear your laughter, my heart beats faster

You are far from an angel

I'll close the casket, you'll hear me gasping

Finally breathing, now that you're leaving

**[Verse 3]**

Wish I born in one of these, move to California

So that we can quarantine those who like to follow

Come on girls let's show the world what I'm made of

Throw at me your favorite stone

You won't get back from who you take from

You won't get back from who you take from

Don't worry guys

Life has it's thorn

My blood pours out your speakers

My blood pours out your speakers

My blood pours out your speakers

My blood pours out your...

The bullet won't hurt if you cooperate

I don't know how it's worse, don't complicate

I think the gun's broken so I stop and wait

You've got the hate and I've got mistakes

Merciless queen will you marry me

Evil love goddess can you bury me

Into the spirits that will lay me forever

Into the spirits that will lay me forever

**[Chorus]**

This time it's over, the days get colder

I seen it coming, I seen you running

To be this lonely, is it the only thing

That I can't take, it's what I can't make

I hear your laughter, my heart beats faster

You are far from an angel

I'll close the casket, you'll hear me gasping

Finally breathing, now that you're leaving

**[Outro]**

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

I can't love no more

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

I can't love no more

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

I can't love no more

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

I can't love no more
