Drop Dead Gorgeous Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
stab me directly in the heart
watch me bleed, i'm lying on your feet
dying, living for just one last breath with you
I love, for you and only you
stop lying; you know i'd lie with you
you're dying on the inside
you're smiling on the outside
forget the taste of me and follow your instinct

The singer cannot sleep because of the intensity of his feelings, and he invites his lover to take a knife and stab him in the heart. He then lies at his lover's feet, dying but living for one last breath with them. He declares his love for his lover and accuses them of lying too, but even as they smile on the outside, he knows they are dying on the inside. The lyrics conclude with a call to "settle the score" in a "Knife Vs. Face Round 1", and a final plea for the lover to follow their instincts.
