[Intro — spoken, sneering] Oh, you're in love? That's adorable. How long has that been going on? Six months? Give it time. I've got some advice. [Verse 1] You look good together Makes me wanna throw up Matching little coffee cups And your stupid little dog You finish all her sentences She laughs before you're done God, I hope you choke on all that Happiness you've won I had a pretty picture once I kept it in a drawer Now the corners have gone yellow And I don't look at it anymore [Chorus] I hope you love each other to death I hope you lose your fucking breath I hope the bed gets cold at night I hope you learn what it feels like To have a heart with a hole in it To watch the world keep spinning I hope you love each other I hope you love each other I hope you love each other to death [Verse 2] There was a little white bracelet With a number on the side There were people talking softly Like the truth had something to hide There were flowers in the hallway There were names I couldn't say There was someone in the mirror Getting smaller every day And the boy who said forever Couldn't look me in the face Funny how a promise disappears When the future needs a place [Chorus] I hope you love each other to death I hope you lose your fucking breath I hope the bed gets cold at night I hope you learn what it feels like To have a heart with a hole in it To watch the world keep spinning I hope you love each other I hope you love each other I hope you love each other to death [Bridge — shouted, ragged] DON'T KISS IN FRONT OF ME! DON'T HOLD HANDS IN FRONT OF ME! DON'T TELL ME THAT YOU'RE HAPPY LIKE IT'S SOMETHING I SHOULD WANT TO BE! I HAD A NAME! I HAD A FACE! I HAD A FUTURE YOU COULD NEVER REPLACE! Now every time you say "I love you" I can taste the fucking hate! [Verse 3 — quieter, bitterly intimate] I don't remember the last kiss I remember the last lie I remember how the room looked When I knew I wouldn't die Not today. Not that easy. Not that clean. Not that kind. I had years to learn the difference Between the body and the mind And I learned that love's a parasite That feeds until it's full Then leaves you with the empty shell And calls the whole thing beautiful [Final Chorus — shouted, increasingly chaotic] I HOPE YOU LOVE EACH OTHER TO DEATH! I HOPE YOU LOSE YOUR FUCKING BREATH! I HOPE YOU WAKE UP EVERY NIGHT AND SEE MY FACE IN THE NIGHT-LIGHT! I HOPE YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE! I HOPE YOU CHOKE ON EVERY WORD! I HOPE YOU LOVE EACH OTHER! I HOPE YOU LOVE EACH OTHER! I HOPE YOU LOVE EACH OTHER TO DEATH! [Outro — spoken, almost conversational] They say I died of something You can't catch from a photograph. They say I got what I deserved. They say a lot of things. But I can still see you, sweetheart. You and your little hand in his. Go on. Hold him tighter. I want you to know exactly what it feels like when something you love won't let go.
