Could Have

i could have left you he said
but ill follow you instead
youll watch your back forevermore
no street is safe behind this door

i could have loved you he said
but ill hate you now instead
youll feel my never ending cold
dont try to run, ive got your soul

i could have killed you he said
but ill torture you instead
and leave you hanging on my words
and cut you down so much it hurts
