[Guitar Intro – Clean melodic arpeggio over steady 4/4 beat] [Upbeat gothic verse] Told the priest I'm just asleep Prayed the lord, my soul to keep Listen when the church bells ring Leave flowers by my grave each spring My spirit stirs, I hear you sing Lift me up with joy you bring Your love still cuts me like a knife My love, I'd let you take my life [Pre-chorus build] I want you to... [Singable fun chorus] Kill me... Kill me lovingly Box me up on a bed of roses Lay me down before I decompose Just kill me... Kill me lovingly Breathe life into me So I can be the one to see you... Kill me lovingly [Upbeat gothic verse] Ashes to ashes and dust to dust Buried bones all boxed in lust My coffin cries your name each night Kiss my corpse and hold me tight Six feet under, hold my breath Til you bring me back from death I'll wait until I waste away For you, my love—love won't decay [Pre-chorus build] I want you to... [Singable fun chorus] Kill me... Kill me lovingly Box me up on a bed of roses Lay me down before I decompose Now, kill me... Kill me lovingly Breathe life into me I wanna be the one to see you... Kill me lovingly [Emotional breakdown bridge, low soft vocals] I'll cry for you... I'll bleed for you... I'll die for you... I'll live if you want me to… [Pre-chorus build] I want you to… [Final chorus – dramatic delivery] Please, kill me... Kill me lovingly Box me up on a bed of roses Lay me down before I decompose Just kill me... Kill me lovingly Breathe life into me So I can be the one to see you... Kill me lovingly Oh, just kill me! Kill me lovingly... I love it when you kill me lovingly... [Guitar Outro]
