Tell me why don't you kill me
And put a gun against my head
I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I want it over by now
Why don't you kill me with your love
I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
There's no time to regret
I'm laying naked on my bed
I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
To feel you when you hold me
When you touch me
You said that you forgive me
But you never hold me
You never touch me
You said that you forgive me
I want it over by now
Why don't you kill me with your love
I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I've been fooling myself
I can't explain why i'm still here
I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
To feel you when you hold me
When you touch me
You said that you forgive me
But you never hold me
You never touch me
You said that you forgive me
You always told me
I'm the one to blame
But you never told me
What's hiding behind these walls
An empty shell of faith, desire and lust
So show me what you got
There's no time to regret
Better off dead
Why don't you kill me with your love
Dead…dead…
To feel you when you hold me
When you touch me
You said that you forgive me
But you never hold me
You never touch me
You said that you forgive me
You always told me
That i'm the one to blame
But you never told me
What's hiding behind these walls
An empty shell of faith, desire and lust
So show me what you got
Better off dead
