AFI - Darling, I Want To Destroy You


Were you dying to go?
You just looked so exposed.
Demure through the dark, dancing lights.
I glided by.
I can't deny that the shadows betrayed you and I on that night.

Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
Are you not impressed?
Darling I want to.
I'll confess this too, must you know the truth,
This is all for you.
Darling I want to destroy you.

As you reached for my hand
Did you then understand?
It was I who would lead you that night.
When you begged to know I was glad to show
That I needn't be scared,
Either way I still bite.

Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
Are you not impressed?
Darling I want to.
I'll confess this too, must you know the truth,
This is all for you.
Darling I want to.

So here's the final scene
When I finally come clean.
I've watched you for years.
And here's my favorite part, where you beg for my heart
And I disappear.

Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
Are you not impressed?
Darling I want to.
I'll confess this too, must you know the truth,
This is all for you.
Darling I want to
Darling I want to
Destroy you.
