Behind the rings on the fingers
Just think deep in the inner that I
stained their souls together
Now, stained soulmates forever
Now, seems like they've faded to the

And says to her, stop crying
She cries harder and harder
He cries harder and harder
I took a shot to her chest
And a blow to his own head
She quickly loses breath but
I wanna love, I wanna love, I
Some more, he loves some more
Seems like they ain't never
