趙露思 - Black Veil Bride

Ambiguously

I'm gonna sleep well tonight

Just happened to be a little just of the night

Funerals are cynical, murderous material

For people that you don't even like

Was it poison in the antidote

Purple in the veins

Nobody knows how we died

I'm a black veil bride

No one's falling in love tonight

Keep your distance

I'm gonna hurt somebody

Love somebody

Find me at the scene of the crime

I'm a black veil bride

Running lonely

I got no time

To stroke your ego

I'm gonna hurt somebody

Love somebody

Baby, it's just death by design

Death by design

It came from a dream

So you and me, afterlife

It's not what it seems

So don't get too close tonight

Funerals are cynical, murderous material

For people that you don't even like

Was it poison in the antidote

Purple in the veins

Nobody knows how we died

I'm a black veil bride

No one's falling in love tonight

Keep your distance

I'm gonna hurt somebody

Love somebody

Find me at the scene of the crime

I'm a black veil bride

Running lonely

I got no time

To stroke your ego

I'm gonna hurt somebody

Love somebody

Baby, it's just death by design

Death by design

A true crime of passion

You just made my alibi

A fatal attraction

I'm just too good

At goodbyes

At goodbyes

I'm a black veil bride

No one's falling in love tonight

Keep your distance

I'm gonna hurt somebody

Love somebody

Find me at the scene of the crime

I'm a black veil bride

Running lonely

I got no time

To stroke your ego

I'm gonna hurt somebody

Love somebody

Baby, it's just death by design

Death by design
