If You Ever Break My Heart

If you ever break my heart

If you ever break my heart

I could never be forgiving

For I would no longer be

In this world among the living

I pray that I might fall into

A pit of poisonous snakes

Than live without your precious love

Or lose your sweet embrace

Hell itself would be a Heaven

Compared to the awful ache

That my very soul would feel

Should my heart you ever break

For your love there is no limit 

To the things I would endure

Succumb to a disease so deadly 

With no hope to find a cure 

Crawl a mile of burning coals

On my hands and knees

Suffer the sting of a thousand bees

To keep you next to me 

Chained in a dreary dungeon

That offers no escape

Would be a peaceful paradise

Should my love you ‘ere forsake

So promise me my darling

That we shall never part

For I would die ten thousand deaths 

If you ever break my heart
