[Verse 1]
Over my dead body
The stars will let you know it's over
Now, if I had my way
Would leave you here to waste your final days
Buried beneath
Oh, please rest assured, this was not my fault
And time is getting short
So, I'll be here if you want me
Oh, my darling, can you hear?
My words so pure they burn your lying ears

[Chorus]
And so the story goes
When I leave, will you let me go?
When the words stop coming
And the fear starts setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance, honey
Better
Call your mother
All hope is lost
Down in the gutter
Down in the gutter

[Verse 2]
When you're in your bed
Sleeping toward the void
So deep it feels like death
Oh, don't you (Wake)
Oh, my love, I hear life holds nothing for us
Beyond our time in here
So don't you dare turn your back on me

[Chorus]
And so the story goes
When I leave, will you let me go?
When the words stop coming
And the fear starts setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance, honey
Better
Call your mother
All hope is lost
Down in the gutter


[Bridge]
Baby, over my dead body
Baby, over my dead body
Baby, over my dead body
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We'll keep counting on you
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We'll keep counting on you
Mother, come on out
Show me what the world is all about
And we'll keep counting on you
Mother, come on out
Show me what the world is all about
And we'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep (fighting)

[Chorus]
And so the story goes
When I leave, will you let me go?
When the words stop coming
And the fear starts setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance, honey
Better
Call your mother
All hope is lost
Down in the gutter
