My Gift to You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There you are, my precious
Not long ago
Hiding behind the shadows
Of your broken soul
Why is it always, you want something you can never have?
Why'd you try to tempt me?
How could you be this way?

[Chorus]
Your throat, I take grasp (Can't you feel the pain?)
Then your eyes roll back (Can you feel the pain?)
Love racing through my veins (Can you feel the pain?)
(Can't you feel the pain?)
Your heart stops beating (Can't you feel the pain?)
Black orgasms (Can't you feel the pain?)
I kiss your lifeless skin (Can't you feel the pain?)

[Verse 2]
There you are, my precious
With your broken soul
Rubbing my crotch, elated
Taking control
Why is it always, you fuck up something you have always had?
Why'd you try to tempt me?
How could you be so cold?
[Chorus]
Your throat, I take grasp (Can't you feel the pain?)
Then your eyes roll back (Can't you feel the pain?)
Love racing through my veins (Can't you feel the pain?)
(Yes, I need the pain)
Your heart stops beating (Can't you feel the pain?)
Black orgasms (Can't you feel the pain?)
I kiss your lifeless skin (Can't you feel the pain?)


[Verse 3]
Here I am, just a man
Feeling pain, gives me life
Relieving us is my plan
I'd do anything just to see through your eyes
Just to see through your eyes
Just to see through your eyes
Just to see through your eyes
Just to see through your eyes
Just to see through your eyes
Just to see through your eyes
Just to see through your eyes
Just to see through your

[Bridge]
I hate you
Can't you feel the pain?
I hate you
Can you feel the pain?
I hate you
Can't you feel the pain?
I hate you
Can you feel the pain?
I hate you
Can you feel the pain?
I hate you
Can you feel the pain?
I hate you
Can you feel the pain?
I hate you
Oh

[Chorus]
Your throat, I take grasp (Can't you feel the pain?)
Then your eyes roll back (Can't you feel the pain?)
Love racing through my veins (Can't you feel the pain?)
(Can't you feel the pain?)
Your heart stops beating (Can't you feel the pain?)
Black orgasms (Can't you feel the pain?)
I kiss your lifeless skin (Can't you feel the pain?)
(Can't you feel the pain?)
Lifeless skin (Can't you feel the pain?)
Lifeless skin (Can't you feel the pain?)
Lifeless skin (Can't you feel the pain?)
Lifeless skin (Can't you feel the pain?)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The song was the response to Jon’s then girlfriend at the time.
She had asked him why he had never sung any songs about how much he loved her.
Jonathan later had a dream about choking her to death and having sex with her dead body.

Davis: “Renee always wanted me to write her a love song, and that’s why I called it "My Gift To You.” It’s my gift to her. You know how I get sick. I always had a fantasy of fucking her and choking her to death. I fantasize about what it would look like me in her body and watch me do it. So it’s like a sick fucked up song. I did it totally like. I love her so much. I want to take her out of this world. It’s strange. She used to leave notes on my pillow like 25 ways she’d like to kill me. She’s got this weird death fetish. We’re kind of fucking freaky. She got it. She’s all ‘Thank you that’s fucked up. I was expecting a fucking I love you, baby kind of song.’ I’m all, ‘No, you know me.’ I mean I can’t do that."
