How could this happen
Am I dreaming again
Her body’s not moving I’m assuming she’s dead
This isn’t a fucking game
There’s somebody’s life at stake
She’s covered in bruises
But the truth is that I never committed the crime
Cause I could never hurt a fly
Then how’d she lose her life?
You're In denial
What you've implied has BURNED and stripped
The whites of my eyes
Then what went on that night
“Listen closely as I tell you I’m not who I seem
I’m gonna touch you cause I like it when you scream
I want to watch you when you’re sleeping and thinking of me”
And that’s what he told her when he killed her
That son of a bitch took away my girl
He’s gonna pay for it right now.
Cause you might think you're in love
And he might promise you the world
But don't believe what he says
He's not real
It's murder and this is it
Prepare for the day I find you
This is your last chance
Cause I'll be out in six months with his address and a shotgun
And a promise for justice that night
I’ll be standing at the crime
So they can throw me back in prison for my life
If it would bring you back to me
Last night I dreamed we had a future and you were alive
It was springtime on our wedding day
There were birds in the sky
The sun was glowing it was beautiful and everyone was there
I still can’t believe that your gone I’m so lost
I’m sorry don’t go
Oh please God no
I think that I've had enough but
He says, “Your too late
I’ve got a hole to dig
And you think that I’ve over-reacted
She was so cute?I couldn’t resist cause I’m a sucker for promiscuous action.
Cause you might think you're in love
And he might promise you the world
But don't believe what he says
He's not real he's a murderer
Cause I've been lying awake
Scared from this nightmare and I feel betrayed
Cause I'd give her my life
But you'd take it away
Am I Dead
Or am I Still Breathing
Cause you’ve stolen the love of my life
So you’ll be sleeping with the fishes tonight
Now listen
I’m not religious but I’ve learned to pray for her
I’m not a violent man but people can change
So when you’re sleeping
I’ll slit your throat and drain your blood
And mail it to your mother
So she’ll discover what a mess you become.
Am I dreaming again
Her body’s not moving I’m assuming she’s dead
This isn’t a fucking game
There’s somebody’s life at stake
She’s covered in bruises
But the truth is that I never committed the crime
Cause I could never hurt a fly

To me it seems like the song is being literal about killing the girl in the verses but when i listen to the chorus it seems more metophorical.
"Cause you might think you're in love
And he might promise you the world
But don't believe what he says
He's not real
It's murder and this is it"
Cause it seems as though when you get your heart "broken" its like the person has ripped out your heart and killed you, emo i know but thats the best way to describe it. Its like hes warning her in the chorus too.
Then it goes back to literal talking about how hes gonna kill the guy who did this obviously.
But i have a few differnt veiws on the last lines.
"From this nightmare, you feel betrayed
I gave my life
And you took it away
There’s not a day that goes by
But you took it away
But you took it away"
Im not sure if its directed to the guy, hes thinking of the consequences of killing him which includes him getting thrown in prison, which takes away his life. Or he could be talking about now killing himself and its the girls fault. Idk it could be taken so many different ways.
How could this happen
Am I dreaming again?
Her body's not moving I'm assuming she's dead
This isn't a f**king game
There's somebody's life at stake
She's covered in bruises
But the truth is that I never committed the crime
Cause I, oh I could never hurt a fly
Then how'd she lose her life?
You're IN DENIAL
Time to burn it DEAD
The whites of my eyes, I won’t exist for you
But what went on that night?
"Listen closely as I tell you I'm not who I seem
I'm gonna touch you cause I like it when you scream
I want to watch you when you're sleeping and thinking of me"
That's what he told her as he killed her
That son of a bitch took away my girl
He's gonna pay for it right now.
Cause you might think you're in love
And he might promise you the world
Don't believe what he says
He's not real, Cause its murder
I can’t take it until I find you
This is your last chance
I'll be out in six months with his address and a shotgun
And a promise for justice that night
Oh I'll be standing at the crime
So they can throw me back in prison for my life
If it could bring you back to me
Last night I dreamed we had a future and you were alive
It was springtime on our wedding day
There were birds in the sky
The sun was glowing it was beautiful and everyone was there
I still can't believe that your gone I'm so lost
I'm sorry (I'm sorry) don't go
Oh please God no
Cause you might think you're in love
And he might promise you the world
Don't believe what he says
He's not real, He's just a murderer
Come on
Come
I think that I've had enough
He says, "You’re too late
I got a hole to dig, think I’ve over-reacted
She was (just) so cute.
I can't resist cause I'm a sucker for promiscuous action."
So tell me, Just tell me
SAY IT RIGHT NOW!
Cause you might think you're in love
And he might promise you the world
Don't believe what he says
He's not real, he's a murderer
Cause you've been lying awake
From this nightmare, you feel betrayed
I gave my life
And you took it away
Am I Dead?
Or am I just Breathing?
Cause you've stolen the one that I love
So you'll be sleeping with the fishes tonight (whoa alright, whoa alright)
Sleeping with the fishes tonight. Oh yeah
Now listen
I'm not religious but I've learned to pray for her
I'm not a violent man, but people can change
So when you're sleeping
I'll slit your throat and drain your blood
And mail it to your mother
She'll discover what a mess you become
I think she might like that
CAUSE I F**KING DO!
Cause you might think you're in love
And he might promise you the world
Don't believe what he says
He's not real, He’s a murderer
Cause you've been lying awake
From this nightmare, you feel betrayed
I gave my life
And you took it away
There’s not a day that goes by
But you took it away
But you took it away
Love
Murder
And Split Personalities.
Poor guy's hunting down himself.
That really is the greatest story ever told.
And this band is legit.
Prepare for the day I find you
This is your last chance
Cause I'll be out in six months with his address and a shotgun
And a promise for justice that night
I’ll be standing at the crime
So they can throw me back in prison for my life
If it would bring you back to me
I think the guy that was suppose to be the one who sounded like he killed her, didn't kill her...
I think it was himself.
simple; because i think he killed her but he is in denial and he is blaming himself or an imaginary someone....
