lyrics

I’d Murder To Have You Back

So you’ve come back for me?
So you can crush what’s left of me?
I really wouldn’t want to waste your precious time
I’m just the same old broken and benign wreck you left behind

Yes, here I am
Believe me, it was never my intention or plan
But now that I see you again
I’m beginning to think I should’ve put you out of your misery
While I had the chance

Ch)
I really thought that I would kill you if I ever saw you again
I thought I’d stab you in the heart like you did mine
I’ve imagined you being crucified
While I hammered in the nails
But now you are here I realise that I…
I’d only murder to have you back

So you came home for me?
When I say home of course I do mean
That old ugly, run down house
The one you could never stand to be around
Especially when I was in it

Yes, I came home, but not for you
I came to collect what I am legally due
I’m sure if you think hard enough
You’ll recall the fact that ugly, run down house
Is in my name and not in yours

I really thought that I would kill you if I ever saw you again
I thought I’d tear your heart in two like you did mine
I’ve imagined you being tortured
By the same hands which once lost you
But now you are here I realise that I…
I’d only murder to have you back

I really thought that I would kill you if I ever saw you again
I thought I’d rip your heart to shreds like you did mine
I imagined your neck being broken
By the same hands which once stroked it
But now you are here I realise that I…
I’d only murder to have you back
