If I Burn Lyrics - Singles - Emilie Autumn

[I'm here] 

I could beg a thousand times 

I could explain, I could use rhymes 

And rhythms meant to catch your eye 

But I know you won't see 

I could cry a thousand tears 

I could appease your secret fears 

But the louder that I scream 

The harder your machines close over me 

But I don't care 

Maybe I'm afraid, but still I swear 

You could take my life with conscience clear 

But you should still hear that 

If I burn, you will see 

The fire in your mind when you sleep 

And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes 

You'll know it's me 

And the rain won't wash away 

The ashes underneath your nails today 

Doesn't matter where you go or what you do 

'Cause if I burn, so will you 

I could bargain but I'd lose 

You'll sell the parts that you don't use 

Yes, I could beg you to be merciful and set me free 

I could threaten you with Hell 

Or I could promise not to tell 

But the softer I became 

The harder your machines close over me 

But I don't care 

Maybe I'm afraid, but still I swear 

You could take my life with conscience clear 

But you should hear that 

If I burn, you will see 

The fire in your mind when you sleep 

And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes 

You'll know it's me 

And the rain won't wash away 

The ashes underneath your nails today 

Doesn't matter where you go or what you do 

'Cause if I burn, so will you 

When you sleep you'll feel my icy fingers 

Crawling down your back 

And when you wake you'll find me right beside you 

Waiting to attack 

And when you walk I will be right behind you 

Quickening my steps 

And when you try to shut me out 

I will be laughing in your head 

Oh, I'll be there 

Maybe I'm afraid, but still I swear 

You could take my life with conscience clear 

But you should still hear that 

If I burn, you will see 

The fire in your mind when you sleep 

And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes 

You'll know it's me 

And the rain won't wash away 

The ashes underneath your nails today 

Doesn't matter where you go or what you do 

'Cause if I burn, so will you 

There are two sides to every story... except for this one! 

It's not over 'til it's over, 

And it's never over 

You can break me 

Death can take me 

But it's never over 

It's not over 'til it's over, 

And it's never over 

You can break me 

Death can take me 

But it's never over
