[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

...
