The Greatest Story Ever Told

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, how can this happen? Am I dreaming again? Her body's not moving, I'm assuming she's dead This isn't a fucking game There's somebody's life at stake She's covered in bruises But the truth is that I never committed the crime 'Cause I know I could never hurt a fly "Then how'd she lose her life?" "You're in denial" Time to burn and dig The whites of my eyes I wanna tell you But what went on that night? [Pre-Chorus] "Listen closely as I tell you I'm not who I seem I'm gonna touch you 'cause I like it when you scream I want to watch you when you're sleeping and thinking of me" And that's what he told her as he killed her That son of a bitch took away my girl He's gonna pay for it right now [Chorus] 'Cause you might think you're in love And he might promise you the world Don't believe what he says He's not real This is it [Verse 2] My God Take it I'm coming to find you This is [?] (Blinding) I'll be out in six months With his address and a shotgun And a promise for justice that night (Alright) And I'll be standing at the crime So they can throw me back in prison for my life If they could bring you back to me [Pre-Chorus] Last night I dreamed we had a future and you were alive It was springtime on our wedding day There were birds in the sky The sun was glowing It was beautiful and everyone was there I still can't believe that you're gone, I'm so lost I'm sorry, I'm sorry Don't go Oh, please God, no [Chorus] 'Cause you might think you're in love And he might promise you the world Don't believe what he says He's not real He's just a murderer [Guitar Solo] C'mon, don't [Verse 3] I think that I've had enough He says, "You're too late I've got a hole to dig and you think that I've over-reacted? She was (C'mere) just so cute I can't resist 'cause I'm a sucker for promiscuous action" So tell me, just tell me Say it for you [Chorus] 'Cause you might think you're in love And he might promise you the world Don't believe what he says He's not real, he's a murderer 'Cause you'll be lyin' awake (Lying awake) From this nightmare you feel betrayed I gave my life, and you took it away [Bridge] Am I dead? Or am I just breathin'? 'Cause you've stolen the one that I like So you'll be sleepin' with the fishes tonight Woah-oh Oh, alright Woah-oh Oh, alri-ight Sleepin' with the fishes tonight Oh, yeah [Verse 4] Now listen I'm not religious, but I've learned to pray for her I'm not a violent man, but people can change So while you're sleeping I'll slit your throat and drain your blood And mail it to your mother She'll discover what a mess you've become I think she might like that, I fucking do [Chorus] 'Cause you might think you're in love And he might promise you the world Don't believe what he says He's not real, he's a murderer 'Cause you'll been lyin' awake (Lying awake) From this nightmare, you feel betrayed I gave my life, and you took it away [Outro] There's not a day that goes by But you took it away But you took it away
