Born to Die Lyrics

Officer, let me just speak my mind

I really didn't mean to put my life on the line

You see

He told me that, told me that he'd be true

So try to walk a mile in my worn out shoes

He said "baby I have no regrets,

Put your hands behind your back, for you are under arrest"

As he read me my rights, the world it left me behind

I thought about the things that made me do my time

I might have taken it a bit too far

They found his body in the back of my car

You should have seen the way he cried and cried

Begging for mercy with my knife in his side

If you had seen the things that I had seen

You'd be here now for the exact same thing

I will get inside your light up ride

Cause I was born to die

Your honor please, I don't know what to say

I never would have done it, but he needed to pay

You see

I saw him there, saw him there in the nude

Her legs around his waist, oh what was I to do?

She said "Baby, you're sentenced to death

Your story isn't new here, you should save your breath"

I was walked to the right, under the exit sign

I thought about the things that made me do my time

I might have taken it a bit too far

They found his body in the back of my car

You should have seen the way he cried and cried

Begging for mercy with my knife in his side

If you had seen the things that I had seen

You'd be here now for the exact same thing

I will take your sentence in my stride

Cause I was born to die

Strap me to the table

It's time to begin

Inject me with your needle

I won't repent to my sin

Strap me to the table

It's time to begin

Inject me with your needle

I won't repent to my sin

He had it coming baby

He had it coming baby

He had it coming baby

I might have taken it a bit too far

They found his body in the back of my car

You should have seen the way he cried and cried

Begging for mercy with my knife in his side

If you had seen the things that I had seen

You'd be here now for the exact same thing

So maybe this is suicide

I won't regret or try to hide

My final breath I close my eyes

Cause I was born to die
