lyrics

if you wanted me to leave, baby, you just had to say
just give me time to pack my things and move away
your eyes told me that you never really cared for me at all
so in time i will take and i will leave you alone

hey, no, if i'm doing fine
you wont know if i'm sick or the ground dying

if you know that i've been standing here falling apart
come and kiss me, babe, before i disembark
my ship is sinking on the feelings that never came in
razors on my hand pulling back whats left of my skin

hey, no, don't you question it
if i'm lonesome as can call
you will never care at all
you will be a crying statue
on my graveyard

i can not believe that it all took so much time
just for you take your own heart and still break mine
all i wrote is down in the dumpster now
and i could leave anyway, but you would not care, somehow

no, no, no, no, no, in the night time
no, no, no, no, no you'll never be mine
and i'm trying not to care
i can see you everywhere
you're a ghost that i believe in hunting me down

shine in through my window
illuminate the noose
when you're done burying me
can you cut my spirit loose?

shine in on me
good lord coming down
oh, god above
lay me softly in that cold, cold ground
