 (Verse)
 I was  writing his story, And he gave me a look
 He was  very handsome, distractingly so
 and I  never dreamed that he'd be my boyfriend
 He wrote  me letters, daily from prison
 (Chorus)
 That said  I know I've killed  a few
 But none  of those women  were you
I  couldn't speak
 It was over  for me
 I found  my grim  reaper prince
 (Same pattern through out)
 Well he said he loved me
 And he cooked me dinner
 He cut my lungs out
 And made me feel thinner
 And I'll never forget him
 Now that it's over
 The life that we had
 When they strapped him down
 Oh but how all the girls were jealous
 Cause he liked me the best
 Oh and I couldn't breathe
 It was true love indeed
 But now my grim prince is gone
 Well I said I loved him
 When they strapped him in
 But he wasn't cryin'
 He took it like a man
 And the families watched him
 As he breathed his last
 But I got rather angry
 I started to laugh
 And say now he's got what's comin'
 He was due his lot
 Oh and I couldn't see, there were tears on my cheek
 Goodbye my grim reaper prince

Oh and I couldn't breathe
It was true love indeed
But now my grim prince is gone

Well I said I loved him
When they strapped him in
But he wasn't cryin'
He took it like a man
And the families watched him
As he breathed his last
But I got rather angry
I started to laugh
And say now he's got what's comin'
He was due his lot
Oh and I couldn't see, there were tears on my cheek
Goodbye my grim reaper prince
