Angelina

[soft piano (melodic) intro]

You’re dead inside,
I feel it too,
A part of you died,
With me,
And you justified,
Everything you’ve done since,
With what happened to me.

[guitar riff begins]

You can’t forget,
You can’t forgive,
I wouldn’t want this to happen to you,
Lay down your grief,
Lay down your rage,
Revenge is a dish best served not at all.

I wouldn’t want this,
I want you to know,
You’re becoming a monster,
It’s beginning to show,
If you go down this road,
You won’t come back,
I want to be alive,
I want you to live your life,
Don’t leave me behind,
But don’t avenge me,
You have to live,
He doesn’t have to die.

You haven’t slept well,
In five years,
Shooting targets with his face,
Something inside you,
Was born that day,
Something I don’t want,
This isn’t okay.
You keep my picture by your desk,
Working the blueprints,
For your crime,
I want to reach out,
Tell you to stop,
But I’m nothing,
Nothing at all,
Just a memory,
Egging you on,
I guess you’ve found,
A reason to live,
Just the wrong one.

You need to forgive,
You need to forget,
I wouldn’t want this to happen to you.
Throw aside grief,
Throw aside rage,
Revenge is a dish best served not at all.

I wouldn’t want this,
I want you to know,
You’re becoming a monster,
It’s beginning to show,
If you go down this road,
You won’t come back,
I want to be alive,
I want you to live your life,
Don’t leave me behind,
But don’t avenge me,
You have to live,
He doesn’t have to die.

Wish we could go back,
To a time of innocence,
Back when I wasn’t with him,
Back when you worked clean,
Back when I looked out for you,
Back when you looked out for me,
I’d crush you in my arms,
Hold you so tight,
Squeeze for my life,
The last hug I’d give,
The last hug you’d get,
Before the tears,
Before the hate,
Whisper in your ear,
“Revenge is a dish served best not at all.”

[instrumental]

(What would your sister think?)
I didn’t want this,
I want you to know,
You’ve become a monster,
You’ve been brought so low,
You’ve gone down this road,
You can’t come back,
I want to be alive,
I want you to live your life,
You can’t leave me behind,
Just had to avenge me,
You needed to live,
He didn’t have to die.

I didn’t want this,
I want you to know,
You’ve become a monster,
You’ve been brought so low,
You’ve gone down this road,
You can’t come back,
I want to be alive,
I want you to live your life,
You can’t leave me behind,
Just had to avenge me,
You needed to live,
He didn’t have to die.

[guitar stops, back to melodic piano]

You’ll join us someday,
Then I can say,
All you had to do was live,
He didn’t have to die.
