If I Told You Once |
If I told you once |
I told you a thousand times my dear |
Never to fall in love with a man |
Who drinks from the well of despair |
I thought from the very start |
I’d made it quite clear I fear |
Now you’re righteously fucked |
As you swing from the rope |
At the top of the stairs |
If I told you once I told you twice |
I was held in the grip of incurable vice |
Lips turning blue like the shade of your eyes |
Limbs shudder and twitch as you met your demise |
You must’ve looked pretty as you stepped off the chair |
Pink satin slippers how they danced in the air |
Your dainty tongue swelled to an alarming degree |
Hope you were thinking of me |
Hope you were thinking of me |
Thinking of me |
If I told you twice |
I told you two thousand times my dear |
Never to fall in love with a man |
Who’s broken beyond all repair |
I knew from the very start |
You’d end up right here so queer |
Now you’ve left me with naught |
But a suicide note and a lock of your hair |
If I’ve mentioned it once I’ve mentioned it twice |
I was bound in the throes of unearthly device |
Radiance bloomed as I lay you to rest |
Shadows of moonbeam alight in your breast |
Deep in the ground where the worms have their feast |
At last you can taste an incurable peace |
Now that you’re dead and you’re finally free |
Hope you were thinking of me |
Hope you were thinking of me |
Thinking of me |
If I told you thrice |
I told you three thousand times my dear |
Never to fall in love with a man |
Who’d draw you into his lair |
I warned from the very start |
The end would be rather severe |
Now your screams fall like vaporous |
Stones from your mouth into the night air |
One time begat twice, that third time’s the charm |
Disregarded all obvious signs of alarm |
Skin milky white as you lie in repose |
Tattered dress stained from the blood I suppose |
So hollow and vacant, devoid of all light |
Your epitaph written on our wedding night |
As your muscles were twitching in their final plea |
Hope you were thinking of me |
Hope you were thinking of me |
Thinking of me |
Thinking of me |
Thinking of me |
Always thinking of me |
Just me |
