| We gather here, we line up, weepin' in a sunlit room
|
| And if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes, too
|
| Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe
|
| All the hell you gave me?
|
| 'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you
|
| 'Til my dying day
|
| I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
|
| And you're the hero flying around, saving face
|
| And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?
|
| Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
|
| Look at how my tears ricochet
|
| We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean
|
| Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring
|
| You know I didn't want to have to haunt you
|
| But what a ghostly scene
|
| You wear the same jewels that I gave you
|
| As you bury me
|
| I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
|
| 'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave
|
| And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?
|
| Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
|
| Look at how my tears ricochet
|
| And I can go anywhere I want
|
| Anywhere I want, just not home
|
| And you can aim for my heart, go for blood
|
| But you would still miss me in your bones
|
| And I still talk to you (When I'm screaming at the sky)
|
| And when you can't sleep at night (You hear my stolen lullabies)
|
| I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
|
| And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves
|
| You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
|
| Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
|
| You turned into your worst fears
|
| And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain
|
| Crossing out the good years
|
| And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed
|
| Look at how my tears ricochet |
