Lyrics


Don't Say You Love Me

You'll be the killer

I'll be the corpse

You'll be the thriller

And I'll be the drama, of course


If you play the sinner

I'll play the stain

If you play the winner

I'll be your permanent pain


I'll be the boredom

You, the desire

I'll be the catcalls

And you'll be the sound of the choir


You, anesthetic

I'll be the scream

You'll be the promise

And I'll be the end of your dreams


So don't say you love me

'Cause you'll never love me


You'll be the flowers

That some lover sent

I'll be the goodbye

Note that is hiding in them


You are the singer

I am the song

The tune that will linger

The bitter taste left on your tongue


So don't say you love me

'Cause you'll never love me


Your flowers and the make-believe

The secrets and the notes you keep

The promises left on the sheets

You'll never love me

Fool your friends, believe your lies

Make amends and alibis

In the end you can't disguise

That you'll never love me


You'll be the killer

I'll be the corpse

You'll be the laughter

And I'll be the punchline, of course
