Why, you just won't leave my mind ?
Was this the only way ?
I couldn't let you stay ?
Run away, hide away
the secrets in your mind.
Sacrificed just her life,
for a higher love
No matter how many stones you put inside.
She'll always keeps on floating in your mind.
With every turn of your head you see her face again,
until the end, over and over again.
Why, you just won't leave my mind ?
Was this the only way ?
I couldn't let you stay ?
Told the truth she laughed at you.
Something snapped inside.
She had to go or they would know,
all you tried to hide
The sins of your life are now catching up with you.
You can't stay ahead. There's nothing you can do.
With every turn of your head you see her face again,
until the end, over and over again.
Why, you just won't leave my mind ?
Was this the only way ?
I couldn't let you stay ?
(repeat 2x)
Was this the only way ?
I couldn't let you stay ?
Run away, hide away
the secrets in your mind.
Sacrificed just her life,
for a higher love
No matter how many stones you put inside.
She'll always keeps on floating in your mind.
With every turn of your head you see her face again,
until the end, over and over again.
Why, you just won't leave my mind ?
Was this the only way ?
I couldn't let you stay ?
Told the truth she laughed at you.
Something snapped inside.
She had to go or they would know,
all you tried to hide
The sins of your life are now catching up with you.
You can't stay ahead. There's nothing you can do.
With every turn of your head you see her face again,
until the end, over and over again.
Why, you just won't leave my mind ?
Was this the only way ?
I couldn't let you stay ?

He feels bad, and a problem is born on his head (something snapped inside); so he kills her because he can't accept a no by answer, and finally he feels guilty,(There's nothing you can do) and this girl is still always on his mind but now not because he loved her, but because he killed her, and he loved her, Ironic, isn't it? XD
HAHAH that's my idea.. long storyy .. but it took me quite to find out the meaning XD
This tells us one fact:the victim is a female.
It seems to suggest that a man has killed a girl he loves,or doesn't love,because of some mental trauma or peer pressure-she had to go or they would know..."
I love the bit about "No matter how many stones you put inside she always keeps on floating in your mind"
That tells us he is filling her corpse with stones to hide the evidence,only to see her floating to the surface in his mind.It's almost like a pun-play on words.
for a higher love"
The "higher love"-thing: i think he killed her because his religion didn't allowed the relationship.
But NOW I can see the whole murder thing. Ironically, I decided that AFTER I had created a story about a guy killing all his girlfriends.
Sacrificed just her life
for a higher love
The higher love for me sorta reflects his passion for the kill. Murderers find some sort of fascination with what they do. So his higher love is to murder and unfortunately it overpowers his desire for her life and he gets rid of her.
And now he is going mad-sorta like the main character from Edgar Allen Poe's The Tell-a-Tale Heart where he keeps thinking the dead mans heart is beating. It's just him going crazy with guilt over the murder.
This girl was obviously very precious to him.
"No matter how many stones you put inside
She'll always keeps on floating in your mind" could mean that he killed her, stuck stones in her to hide his crime, then left her in a lake or river.
Because of his extreme guilt, he sees her everywhere.
