I came and saw you left the light on There was no one home at all Couldn't wait to get your clothes on Shouldn't come around to call on you The taste was sweet and you delivered I didn't know I would feel so high Well, I guess we didn't have to kill her But don't feel so bad though You looked her in the eye And I watched her cry And my mouth went dry Everyone is going to have to die sometime My mouth is clean, my hands are dirty Heaven isn't on my side Well, if it was, then she'd have hurt me Didn't think this through But, I didn't have the time To perfect my crime I drank my wine Everything is going to be just fine I don't know, I don't love, (you're alone, you're alone) I don't know Anyone like me I'm not heaven sent I'm not heaven sent But I'm broken and bent My mouth went dry As I watched her cry Everyone has to, gets to die But not on my time not on this girl's time Fucked if it's my time (fucked if it's my time) Not on my time(this is all fucked up)
