Title comes from Emilie Autumn's Swallow


But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown

My body was the one you'd hold forever
My lust was the highest you could get
My lips were what you wanted to taste
My life was what you said you'd share

My eyes were the two you'd gaze into
My love was all you ever wanted
My arms you wished to stay in forever
My life was to be your eternity

My dearest, how I stayed by your side
even when I was told to stay away
My sweetest, how I kept your promise
even though you never kept mine
close to my heart

My dearest, how I said you were sincere
even when I was told you were away
My sweetest, how I kept faith in you
even though you never kept it
close to my love

My body was something you wanted once
My lust was the game you'd play
My lips were fun once, twice but not more
My life was the one thing you took

My eyes were honest in distance to yours
My love was something you oversaw
My arms held you and made you warm
My life was what you slaughtered

My dearest,
when I suddenly dwindled
and you were gone
