[Verse 1]
Even if you run… I will find you
I decided I want you
Now I know… I need
If you can't be bought, tougher than I thought
Keep in mind - I'm with you
Never left out fate, can't concentrate
Even if you run…

[Refrain]
You will be mine!
Ah, fucking you will be mine!
Ah, fucking you will be mine!
Ah, fucking you will be mine!

[Pre-Chorus]
I found you
Leanin' out of an open window
You laughed, your fingers clenched
Too perfect, far too careless
I couldn't help myself - I just took you

[Chorus 1]
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake

[Verse 2]
Better make yourself at home
You're here to stay
You won't bother me… If you let me bother you
All the doors are locked, all the windows shut
Keep in mind - I watch you
Never leave my side, never leave me, fucker
Even if you run…

[Interlude]
Walk away from me? Don't you fucking-
Come here, bitch!
Don't you fucking walk away from me!
Please, honey… just let me hold your hand. I promise I won't FIGHT!
Aw, you stupid bitch! What the fuck?
Come here! Don't make me fucking chase you down, I know!
Get up!
Get up! Get up!

[Bridge]
What the fuck is different?
Man, I can't believe I'm doin' this
What the fuck is different?
Man, I can't believe I'm doin' this
What the fuck is different?
Man, I can't believe I'm doin' this
What the fuck is different?
Man I can't believe I'm doin' this
What the fuck is different?
I can't believe I'm doin' this
What the fuck is different?
I can't believe I'm doin' this
What the fuck is different?
I can't believe I'm doin' this
What the fuck is different?
I can't believe I'm doin' this

[Chorus 2]
And I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake
Dammit man I knew it was a mistake

Slipknot is a metal group based in Des Moines, Iowa. They were formed in 1995, and are well known for their live shows and their image of nine masked performers. They are one of the most important bands of the NWOAHM (New Wave of American Heavy Metal).

This core line-up rose to the spotlight after their self-titled debut in 1999 which contained the breakout singles “Wait and Bleed” and “Spit it Out.” They would go on to release Iowa (2001), The Subliminal Verses (2004), and All Hope Is Gone (2008), and .5: The Gray Chapter (2014) and We Are Not Your Kind (2019).
