A song about death. Not necessarily physical death but more of the death of love and from the perspective of the person responsible for it.
lyrics
Another gray morning cold and alone feel so strange
I sweat and shake my heart it breaks
Another month passes lost and astray feel so strange
Sense I can’t make my heart it breaks my God how it breaks
Now you’re left with a funeral left with the bill
I’m sorry my love for this life that I killed
It’s the lies that I told you poisonous words
It’s a shame that I told them a shame that you heard
Now I burn Oh how I burn
Another dream ending nightmares begin I’m awake
Just go away my body aches
Maybe tomorrow forgiven with grace it’s a waste
It is too late can’t find a way home or a place
Now you’re left with a funeral left with the bill
I’m sorry my love for this life that I killed
It’s the lies that I told you poisonous words
It’s a shame that I told them a shame that you heard
Now I burn Oh how I burn
When will I ever change these wicked ways
Locked up in chains I cannot see the light of the day
I try to speak but no one hears a word that I say
Oh am I here or have I passed on my God take me away or go away
Now you’re left with a funeral left with the bill
I’m sorry my love for this life that I killed
It’s the lies that I told you poisonous words
It’s a shame that I told them a shame that you heard
Now I burn Oh how I burn
Another gray morning cold and alone feel so strange
I sweat and shake my heart it breaks my God how it breaks
