We walk together through a garden every day
It seemed a place of peace, it did for me anyway
But you saw tigers lurking just beyond the fences
Tear up those paper cats, there nothing more than your defenses
You kick the crosses of my exes every day
It never made you seem better than them in any way
You read between the lines of epitaphs on graves
Even in bed, you raise the dead to speak their names
Don't wake the beast while she's asleep
Don't dig for demons underneath
In this necropolis where former lovers lay
Don't try so hard to dig that hole for your own grave
You kick the crosses of my exes every day
It never made you seem better than her in any way
You read between the lines of epitaphs on graves
Even in bed, you raise the dead to speak her name
I could have walked beside you endlessly
But I grew weary of the shallow graves you lead me to
It's nothing short of a tragedy
You finally made me sad enough to write that song about you
I could have walked beside you endlessly
But I grew weary of the shallow graves you lead me to
It's nothing short of a tragedy
You finally made me sad enough to write that song about you
You finally made me sad enough to write that song about you
You finally made me mad enough to write that song about you
