[Verse 1]
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye, my love, you're in my heart
It was preordained that we should part
And be reunited by and by, united by and by
Goodbye, no handshake to endure, now there's nothing

[Chorus]
It was written in blood, it was written in blood
It was written in blood, oh God, written in blood
It was written in blood, it was written in blood
Oh my God, it was written in blood

[Verse 2]
Let's have no sadness (No sadness), furrowed brow
There's nothing new (Nothing new) in dying now
Let's have no sadness (No sadness), furrowed brow
There's nothing new in dying now

[Pre-Chorus]
Though living is no newer
Though living is no newer
And it was written in blood

[Chorus]
It was written in blood, it was written in blood
It was written in blood, oh, God, written in blood
It was written in blood, it was written in blood
Oh my God, it was written in blood on a suicide note
[Bridge]
Like roses, we blossom, then die
Like roses, we blossom, then die
Like roses, we blossom, then die
We fall apart (Die)
We fall apart (Die), fall apart
Like roses, we blossom, then die
Like roses, we blossom, then die
We fall apart, we fall apart
Like roses, we fall apart, fall apart

[Pre-Chorus]
Though living is no newer
Though living is no newer
It was written in blood
On a fucking suicide note
The day before he died

[Chorus]
It was written in blood, it was written in blood
It was written in blood, oh, God, written in blood
It was written in blood, written in blood
Oh my God, it was written in blood

[Post-Chorus]
Like roses, we blossom, then die
Like roses, we blossom, then die
We fall apart (Fall apart)
We fall apart (Fall apart)
Fall apart, we fall
Like roses, like roses
[Outro]
Roses (Like roses)
Roses (Like roses)
Like roses (Like roses)
Like roses (Like ro–, like roses)
I love the sound of breaking bones
