  • Take me, I'm alive
    Never was a girl with a wicked mind
    But everything looks better when the sun goes down

    I had everything
    Opportunities for eternity
    And I could belong to the night

    Your eyes
    Your eyes
    I can see in your eyes
    Your eyes

    You make me wanna die
    I'll never be good enough
    You make me wanna die
    And everything you love will burn up in the light
    And every time I look inside your eyes
    You make me wanna die

    Taste me, drink my soul
    Show me all the things that I shouldn't know
    When there's a blue moon on the rise

    I had everything
    Opportunities for eternity
    And I could belong to the night

    Your eyes
    Your eyes
    I can see in your eyes
    Your eyes
    Everything in your eyes
    Your eyes

    You make me wanna die
    I'll never be good enough
    You make me wanna die
    And everything you love will burn up in the light
    And every time I look inside your eyes
    You make me wanna die

    I would die for you, my love
    My love
    I would lie for you, my love
    My love (you make me wanna die)
    I would steal for you, my love
    My love (you make me wanna die)
    And I would die for you my love, my love
    We'll burn up in the light
    And every time I look inside your eyes
    I'm burning in the light, look inside your eyes
    I'm burning in the light, I look inside your eyes
    You make me wanna die Writer/s: Ben Phillips, Kato Khandwala, Taylor Momsen

  • Angeliki from Thessaloniki, GreeceThe Vampire-y references doesn't only apply to Twilight or every other vampire movie or show that exist out there but to every show that is about supernatural. That line about 'new moon' is actually a 'blue moon'
  • Jim from Aurora, CoI love this song to pieces, but I always thought it might have been an attempt by the Reckless to make a song that could be used in Twilight: Eclipse. There are a lot of romantic vampire-y references in the lyrics, like 'I could belong to the night,' and 'You make me wanna die.' There's even a line about 'new moon,' which also would have fit in with the movies. The timing would have been about the same, with Kick-Ass coming out only a little after Eclipse. It would have been a perfect fit with the Twilight movies, but it works as a kick-ass song no matter what spin you put on it.
  • Kevin from Courtenay, BcThis song is used at the end of the movie Kick Ass
