• Turn out the light, my darling
    Everything is completely destroyed
    Leftover shrapnel brings my demise
    My heart is beyond repair
    Thanks to your tainted love

    A mortal wound is so much sweeter, ironic
    Caused by the one you love
    I never pretended like you, my dear
    It was real when I said it
    Yes, I really meant it

    My words were honest, true
    Although they bared my soul
    I took a chance and let it collapse on me
    The effects of your hidden betrayal
    Haunt me to this very day

    Turn out the light, my darling
    Everything is completely annihilated
    Leftover shrapnel brings my demise
    My heart is beyond repair
    Thanks to your tainted love

    Keep up the act while the curtain is open
    Take a bow when the show is over
    You have played your part flawlessly
    The cause of these scars, those lies you told
    They were my chains of darkness

    Turn out the light, my darling
    Everything is completely obliterated
    Leftover shrapnel brings my demise
    My heart is beyond repair
    Thanks to your tainted love

    I have held up the mirror of truth
    Your reflection was clear, crystal
    You shattered it in my hand
    Leaving the fragile shards to cut me
    Then you turned and walked away

    Turn out the light, my darling
    Everything is completely demolished
    Leftover shrapnel brings my demise
    My heart is beyond repair
    Thanks to your tainted love

    There is a break in the light, my darling
    Everything has been completely ruined
    Leftover pieces brings my demise
    My heart is empty and void
    Thank you, my tainted love
