Translation
Bilingual
She was a middle class girl
She was in over her head
ย
She thought she could
Stand up in the deep end
He had a bullet proof smile
He had money to burn
ย
She thought she had the moon
In her pocket
But now she's dead
She's so dead
Forever dead and lovely now
ย
I've always been told to
Remember this...
Don't let a fool kiss you
Never marry for love
He was hard to impress
He knew everyone's secrets
ย
He wore her on his arm
Just like jewelry
He never gave but he got
He kept her on a leash
ย
He's not the kind of wheel
You fall asleep at
But now she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
ย
Come closer, look deeper
You've fallen fast
Just like a plane on a
Stormy sea
She made up someone to be
She made up somewhere to be from
ย
This is one business in the
World where that's no
Problem at all
Everything that is left
They will only plow under
ย
Soon every one you know
Will be gone
And now she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
ย
But now she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
ย
I've always been told to
Remember this...
Don't let a kiss fool you
Never marry for love
Everything has it's price
Everything has it's place
What's more romantic
Then dying in the moonlight?
Now they're all watching the sea
What's lost can never be broken
ย
Her roots were sweet
But they were so shallow
And now she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
ย
And now she's dead
Forever dead
And she's so dead and lovely now
