Lyrics
I had not planned on seeing you
I was afraid of what I'd do
But pride is strong here am I
And I just can't let you say goodbye
Please have no fear you're in no harm
As long as you're here in my arms
But you can't leave so please don't try
But I just can't let you say goodbye
What force behind your evil mind
Can let your lips speak so unkind
To one who loves as much as I
But just can't let you say goodbye
The flesh around your throat is pale
Indented by my fingernails
Please don't scream and please don't cry
'Cause I just can't let you say goodbye
Your voice is still it speaks no more
You'll never hurt me anymore
Death is a friend to love and I
'Cause now you'll never say goodbye
Thank you, thank you very much
