His sickness seeped into her bones She felt a numbness creeping in What of him that once made her feel alive Now plagued her with ignorance Between the sheets he watched her sleep She knowing nothing of his crimes Blinded by purity she could not see The destruction of his pride
Now you’re looking in the barrel Of that loaded gun You know you need to let go But you’re still holding on

Oh my dear Oh my dear Oh my dear What have you done? What have you done? [x2]
Now you’re looking in the barrel Of that loaded gun You know you need to let go But you’re still holding on Now you’re looking in the barrel Of that loaded gun We tried to keep you from the trigger But oh my dear, what have you done?
