Lyrics

She said she said it's not okay When you speak to me like that He said he said don't go away Or I'll make you stay She cried yes she cried don't hurt me that way But he just pulled a little closer She screamed yes she screamed I'm falling away But he just dug a little deeper She said she said I'm sorry again But it was never her fault She begged she begged to him once again But he just made her feel guilty She tried yes she tried she tried so damn hard But nothing could ever please him She died yes she died she died in his arms I'm sorry this doesn't have a happy ending Bridge/For when she tried tried to get away The knife was already sharpened He claims claims to this day That he had no bad intentions He cried yes he cried When they took him away for how could they question And he died yes he died Died on the day that they told him that this was hate This was not love, it was hate This was not love, it was hate (Spoken Overlay: Diamond rope.
