Drowning Lessons
My Chemical Romance · Other Songs - My Chemical Romance
And dressed in red and blue I squeezed
Imaginary wedding gown
That you can't wear in front of me.
A kiss goodbye,
Your twisted shell,
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet.
Lets say goodbye,
The hundreth time,
And then tomorrow we'll do it again.
Tomorrow we'll do it again.
I dragged her down,
I put her out,
And back there I left her where no one could see.
And lifeless cold
Into this well
I stared as this moment was held for me.
A kiss goodbye,
Your twisted shell,
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet.
Lets say goodbye,
The hundreth time
And then tomorrow we'll do it again.
I never thought it'd be this way.
Just me and you we're here alone.
And if you stay,
All I'm asking for is
A thousand bodies piled up.
I never thought would be enough
To show you just what I've been thinking.
And I'll keep on making more,
Just to prove that I adore
Every inch of sanity.
All I'm asking for is...
All I'm asking for is...
These hands stained red
From the times that I've killed you and then
We can wash down this engagement ring
With poison and kerosene.
We'll laugh as we die,
And we'll celebrate the end of things with cheap champagne.
Without...
Without a sound.
Without...
Without a sound,
And I wish you away.
Without a sound,
And I wish you away.
Without a sound, without a sound,
And I wish you away.
Without a sound, without a sound,
And I wish you away.
Without a sound, without a sound,
And I wish you away.
