we gather here we line up weepin’ in a sunlit room
and if i’m on fireyou’llbe made ofashes too
even on my worst daydid i deserve babe
all the hell you gave me
’cause ilovedyoui swear iloved you
’til mydying 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
