Vampire – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Can't stop all the things you do
You're such a wreck, it's like I never know the truth
Take it back the way you want it
No disregard
It's all the path that's haunted
What a shame
What a shame
That we always seem to get in a fight
And I'm in pain
I'm in pain
I can't ever seem to make things right
Sink your teeth right into me
As I take my one last breath
You want me dead so here's your wish
As you lay my body to rest (body to rest)
You're a vampire
A vampire
And I was bound to get hurt
Your love is a curse
Your love is the worst
And I was bound to get hurt
Oh, you've taken what's left of me
Now I'm starting to beg and plead
My body's getting colder
Now I feel like I am a goner
What a shame
What a shame
That we always seem to get in a fight
And I'm in pain
I'm in pain
And I can't ever seem to make things right
Sink your teeth right into me
As I take my one last breath
You want me dead so here's your wish
As you lay my body to rest (body to rest)
You're a vampire
A vampire
And I was bound to get hurt
Your love is a curse
Your love is the worst
And I was bound to get hurt
Oh, my God I thought we had more to life (had more to life, had more to life)
My pulse just stopped
But I still look alive (still look alive, still look alive)
I'm one of you now
I don't want to be like this (I don't want to be like this)
I'm not a monster
Well technically I am (I'm not a monster)
...
Sink your teeth right into me
As I take my one last breath
You want me dead so here's your wish
As you lay my body to rest
...
