And Love Said No
H.I.M. · And Love Said No The Greatest Hits 1997-2004 [2004]
Trough the emptiness that had become my home
Love's lies, cruel, introduced me to you
And that moment I knew that I was out of hope
"Kill me" I begged and Love said no
"Leave me for Dead and let me go"
"Kill me" I cried and Love said no
"Kill me" I cried and Love said no
Love's icy tomb dug open for you
Lies in a cemetary that bears my name
Love's violent tune, from me to you
Rips your heart out and leaves you bleeding
With a smile on your face
"Kill me" I begged and Love said no
"Leave me for Dead and let me go"
"Kill me" I cried and Love said no
"Kill me" I cried and Love said no
Love's light blue took me from you
And that moment i knew that i was out of hope again
"Kill me" I begged and Love said no
"Leave me for dead and let me go"
"Kill me" I cried and Love said no
"Lill me" I cried and Love said no
Love said no
And Love said no
