If I Told You Once

If I told you once 

I told you a thousand times my dear 

Never to fall in love with a man 

Who drinks from the well of despair

 I thought from the very start I'd made it quite clear

 I fear 

Now you're righteously fucked

 As you swing from the rope 

At the top of the stairs

 If I told you once I told you twice 

I was held in the grip of incurable vice 

Lips turning blue like the shade of your eyes 

Limbs shudder and twitch as you met your demise 

You must've looked pretty as you stepped off the chair

 Pink satin slippers how they danced in the air 

Your dainty toes swelled to an alarming degree 

Hope you were thinking of me 

Hope you were thinking of me 

Thinking of me

 If I told you twice I told you two thousand times my dear

 Never to fall in love with a man 

Who's broken beyond all repair 

 I knew from the very start 

You'd end up right here so queer 

Now you've left me with naught 

But a suicide note and a lock of your hair 

If I've mentioned it once 

I've mentioned it twice 

I was bound in the throes of unearthly device

 Radiance bloomed as I lay you to rest 

Shadows of moonbeam alight in your breast

 Deep in the ground where the worms have their feast 

At last you can taste an incurable peace 

Now that you're dead and you're finally free 

Hope you were thinking of me 

Hope you were thinking of me 

Thinking of me If I told you thrice 

I told you three thousand times my dear 

Never to fall in love with a man

 Who'd draw you into his lair

 I warned from the very start 

The end would be rather severe 

Now your screams fall like vaporous 

Stones from your mouth into the night air

 One time begat twice, that third time's the charm

 Disregard it all lovey, it's signs of alarm 

Skin milky white as you lie in repose 

Tattered dress stained from the blood

 I suppose 

So hollow and vacant, devoid of all light 

Your epitaph written on our wedding night 

As your muscles were twitching in their final plea 

Hope you were thinking of me 

Hope you were thinking of me 

Thinking of me 

Thinking of me 

Thinking of me 

Always thinking of me 

Just me
