Ah ah ah ah ah aaaah
Ah ah ah ah ah aaaah
Ah ah ah ah ah aaaah
Yes, it's me the one you wished to see
The one who set it ablaze
It's there in the woods, it's all in the woods
What sparked this jealous rage
Oh, the house I built for him and I
With love and sweat, was built on a lie, on a lie
It wasn't in my head, they were both in my bed
Where they'd lie for eternity
You said that you loved me
But you lied to me, you lied to me
You lied to me, oh oh oh
The woods the woods the woods, it's coming from the woods
That's the smell of burning love
The town the town the town, you can hear it from the town
That's the sound of broken hearts
I think I might be going insane
The walls are closing in
Their mouths are moving but I can't hear a thing
Why does it feel like the end?
The sirens are getting louder and louder
Drowning down my thoughts
You said that you loved me
But you lied to me, you lied to me
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
The woods the woods the woods, it's coming from the woods
That's the smell of burning love
The town the town the town, you can hear it from the town
That's the sound of broken hearts
Corrupted from the start
Ah ah ah ah ah aaaah
Corrupted from the start
Ah ah ah ah ah aaaah
Corrupted from the start
Ah ah ah ah ah aaaah
Corrupted from the start
Ah ah ah ah ah aaaah
Corrupted from the start
The woods the woods the woods, it's coming from the woods
That's the smell of burning love
The town the town the town, you can hear it from the town
That's the sound of broken hearts
Corrupted from the start
