Looking over the edge of the casket

I can't recall what was said or who was asking

Everyone set a trap of their opinions

I can keep you around, if I want it

Heavy worry falling up happy and broken

Can't discover where you went or the words spoken

You watched me struggling to find a way out

I only like you from the waist down

I just choose to walk away

The sun will set, and the moon will take its place

Everybody wants a taste

Sit back and watch the world decay

Looking over the edge of a tombstone

In my grief tears fall above your bones

Everyone dressed in black for the funeral

I just want you around, God won't have it

Feeling numb falling out through medication

All the doors that I've closed, now wide open

You watched me struggling to find a way out

I only like you from the waist down

heartbreak
