Can't help my tears spilling out
Though it couldn't change a thing now
Although the Bon's gonna end, you should stay here longer,
Don't go home yet
Even if I'm cursed, if you hate me, then it
Doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
Follow me around, take a day off for a while
Come and haunt me longer, come inside
And if you could be reborn again, would you become a cat?
Pampered by its' wealthy owners, that would be alright
Don't you think?
Time marches on nonetheless, so I'm guessing there's no rewind
Although the Bon's back on, you won't ever come back, this year or next
Even if I'm cursed, if you kill me, then it
Doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
Come into the picture, we'll capture something lovely
Come and take my body, come inside me
And if could you be in Heaven singing hymns with someone else...
Even if it's Hell or limbo, you would be alright
Don't you think?
(Send a text, and I'm leaving you on read another day now)
And if you had vanished here, and freed yourself from suffering
(Go to sleep, and you'll see me when you wake up paralyzed)
Wouldn't you forgive me if I hated you too?
Now you're on the other side while I'm still motionless
Not even “I'm sorry” could come pouring from my lips
Even if you kill me, and leave no trace, it
Doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
So I won't forget you
Just drag me over, closer, drag me
Faster, ever, over to you
