Darling, I Want To Destroy You

AFI · Crash Love [2009]

Were you dying to go?

You just looked so exposed

Demure through the dark dancing lights

I glided by

I can't deny that the shadows betrayed

You and I on that night



Oh, I must confess

I am overdressed

Are you not impressed?

Darling, I want to

I'll confess this, too

Must you know the truth

This is all for you

Darling, I want to destroy you



As you reached for my hand

Did you then understand?

It was I who would lead you that night

When you begged to know

I was glad to show that I needn't be scared

Either way I still bite



Oh, I must confess

I am overdressed

Are you not impressed?

Darling, I want to

I'll confess this, too

Must you know the truth

This is all for you

Darling, I want to



So here's the final scene

When I finally come clean

I've watched you for years, years

And here's my favourite part

Where you beg for my heart

And I disappear



Oh, I must confess

I am overdressed

Are you not impressed?

Darling, I want to

I'll confess this, too

Must you know the truth

This is all for you

Darling, I want to

Darling, I want to destroy you
