If I Told You Once

If I told you once
 I told you a thousand times my dear
 Never to fall in love with a man
 Who drinks from the well of despair
 I thought from the very start
 I'd made it quite clear I fear
 Now you're righteously fucked
 As you swing from the rope
 At the top of the stairs
 If I told you once I told you twice
 I was held in the grip of incurable vice
 Lips turning blue like the shade of your eyes
 Limbs shudder and twitch as you met your demise
 You must've looked pretty as you stepped off the chair
 Pink satin slippers how they danced in the air
 Your dainty toes swelled to an alarming degree
 Hope you were thinking of me
 Hope you were thinking of me
 Thinking of me
 If I told you twice
 I told you two thousand times my dear
 Never to fall in love with a man
 Who's broken beyond all repair
 I knew from the very start
 You'd end up right here so queer
 Now you've left me with naught
 But a suicide note and a lock of your hair
 If I've mentioned it once I've mentioned it twice
 I was bound in the throes of unearthly device
 Radiance bloomed as I lay you to rest
 Shadows of moonbeam alight in your breast
 Deep in the ground where the worms have their feast
 At last you can taste an incurable peace
 Now that you're dead and you're finally free
 Hope you were thinking of me
 Hope you were thinking of me
 Thinking of me
 If I told you thrice
 I told you three thousand times my dear
 Never to fall in love with a man
 Who'd draw you into his lair
 I warned from the very start
 The end would be rather severe
 Now your screams fall like vaporous
 Stones from your mouth into the night air
 One time begat twice, that third time's the charm
 Disregard it all lovey, it's signs of alarm
 Skin milky white as you lie in repose
 Tattered dress stained from the blood I suppose
 So hollow and vacant, devoid of all light
 Your epitaph written on our wedding night
 As your muscles were twitching in their final plea
 Hope you were thinking of me
 Hope you were thinking of me
 Thinking of me
 Thinking of me
 Thinking of me
 Always thinking of me
 Just me
