I wish I knew what to say
(I could have been happy here)
But I don't, so I let my hands
Be my words, I let them take the oil
To light the fire, to stand back
To watch the castle as it burns down
Taking you with it, and
The last shreds of my heart

A/N: In fairytales like Bluebeard of the Robber Bridegroom, usually after the bride discovers her husband/betrothed is a serial killer, she flees back home and sends her brothers to kill him. Or alternatively, her family kill him when he comes to visit.
But what if she had no brothers?
