Cellar Darling

Back in time
I didn't really want you
I didn't really know me
That's just how things go
And then I wanted to know you
Sit down and just tell you
Things with my own words
Looking into your eyes
And I should have turned away
Why? Why did I do it?
Why? Why all the thinking?
'cause I couldn't have stayed
Why? Why didn't you stop me?
Why? Didn't you tell me to stop
This nonsensical business of mine?
Oh, why!?
As time goes by
I think I really like you
I think I even know me
Thanks to you
and now I can't turn this off
and I want it to end
'cause I can't face the truth
or the turn it will take
Now I have to run so fast
Why? Why did I do it?
Why? Why all the thinking?
'cause I couldn't have stayed
Why? Why didn't you stop me?
Why? Didn't you tell me to stop this nonsensical business of mine?
Oh why?
Why? Why didn't you stop me?
Why? Can't you see through me
Save myself from me and live so happily
So die!
I walk down the stairs
Open the cellar door
As I untie your hands
I want you even more
But I can't let this happen
My love for you is bigger
So I cry as I stand, look at you, and pull the trigger
You are my Cellar Darling!
You are my Cellar Darling!
Let me hold you
Let me love you
You are my Cellar Darling!
You are my Cellar Darling!
I'm so sorry, so sorry
You are my Cellar Darling!
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
Why, why did I kill you?
