The Greatest Story Ever Told Lyrics

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 know 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
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."
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
Don't believe what he says
He's not real
It's murder and this is it
My God, you better fear me 'cause I'm gonna find you
'Cause I'll be out in six months
With his address and a shotgun
And a promise for justice that night
And I'll be standing at the crime
So they can throw me back in prison for my life
If that 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 you're 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

I think that I've had enough
He says, "You're too late
I've got a hole to dig and you think that 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
Tell me the truth
'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 I've been lying awake
From this nightmare I feel betrayed
I gave my life, but you took 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 while 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 fucking 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 I've been lying awake
From this nightmare I feel betrayed
I gave my life, but you took it away

There's not a day that goes by...
