| I died so many years ago.
|
| You can make me feel like it isn’t so.
|
| And why you come to be with me,
|
| I think I finally know.
|
| You’re scared, ashamed of what you feel.
|
| And you can’t tell the ones you love,
|
| You know they couldn’t deal.
|
| Whisper in a dead man’s ear,
|
| It doesn’t make it real.
|
| That’s great but I don’t wanna play,
|
| 'Cause being with you touches me,
|
| More than I can say.
|
| And since I’m only dead to you,
|
| I’m sayin' stay away.
|
| And let me rest in peace.
|
| Let me rest in peace, let me get some sleep.
|
| Let me take my love and bury it In a hole six-foot deep.
|
| I can lay my body down
|
| But I can’t find my sweet release.
|
| So let me rest in peace.
|
| You know you got a willing slave
|
| And you just love to play the thought
|
| That you might misbehave.
|
| Until you do, I’m tellin' you
|
| Stop visiting my grave
|
| And let me rest in peace.
|
| I know I should go But I follow you like a man possessed.
|
| There’s a traitor here beneath my breast
|
| And it hurts me more than you’ve ever guessed.
|
| If my heart could beat, it would break my chest.
|
| But I can see you’re unimpressed
|
| So leave me be and let me rest in peace,
|
| Let me get some sleep.
|
| Let me take my love and bury it In a hole six-foot deep.
|
| I can lay my body down
|
| But I can’t find my sweet release.
|
| Let me rest in peace.
|
| Why won’t you let me rest in peace? |
