Deathgirl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your gonna burn
But you want to tell me a story of where you were
With that girl
And yet, I know you
But still, I sit and watch you lie
I don't know why
And I'll tear you apart into pieces
And you said
Nevernevernevernevernevernevernevernevernevernever...
'Cause no one knows you the way that I do
You think you own me and you think that you can tell me what to do
That joke's on you
So tell me you need me
Tell me once again how I'm so weak
And oh so sweet
And I'll tear you apart into pieces
One by one
Believe me
That I'll tear you apart into pieces
One by one
And you said
Nevernevernevernevernevernevernevernevernevernever...
'Cause no one knows you the way that I do

I have a different version of this song on cassette and its better. more raw even Melissa's voice isn't its atmospheric original. this is way over produced. sorry but I've followed this band back when they were caelum bliss and the songs myth, if you can, dies irae, alone, and too far gone are what my dreams are made of! but i like all I want by death girl, could only imagine a caelum bliss take on it.....
