lyrics
I'm damned if I do but I might die if I don't
'cause I'm not sure I can live without my hands around your throat
so all I can do is just grit my teeth... and smile... and seethe.
And dutifully I offer you the kind of things that cover up the hate I feel; like cutesy little compliments to puff you up-- friendly "sparkles", everywhere, they brighten all this darkness rising up,up,up,up,up.
But believe me darling, when I say:
Every time I see your face
everything I had escaped starts flooding back
memories come crashing down on me
everything I had erased springs back to life with your embrace
from ecstasy to agony
my love's turned first degree
I wrapped up all my hopes and I sealed them with a kiss
never thought that when we met that it would ever have to come to this...
the situation's gotten dire-- it's safer now if you just leave. ( hope to god you never breed)
But you'll eventually come around and strip away the peace I've found; a simple move, a smile or word will rip apart what I've made sound and even when you're kind it's like you always seem to bring me down, down, down, down, down.
Believe me darling when I say
Every time I see your face
everything I had escaped starts flooding back
memories come crashing down on me
everything I had erased springs back to life with your embrace
from ecstasy to agony
my love's turned first degree
I cross my heart and hope you die
I swear I mean it, for real, this time
consider this song my goodbye
Every time I see your face
everything I had escaped starts flooding back
memories come crashing down on me
Every time I see your face
everything I had escaped starts flooding back
memories come crashing down on me
everything I had erased springs back to life with your embrace
from ecstasy to agony
I can't escape your hold on me
my love's turned first degree
