Rest in peace

I died

So many years ago

And you can make me feel

Like it isn't so

But why you come to be with me

I think I finally know

You're scared

Ashamed of what you feel

And you can't tell the one's you love

You know they couldn't deal

But whisper in a dead man's ear

That doesn't make it real

That's great

But I don't wanna play

'Cause being near you touched me

More than I can say

And since I'm only dead to you

I'm saying stay away

And let me rest in peace

Let me rest in peace

Let me get some sleep

Let me take my love and bury it

In a hole six foot deep

I can lay my body down

But I can't find my sweet release

So let me rest in peace

You know

You've got a willing slave

And you just love to play the thought

That you might misbehave

But 'till you do I'm telling you

Stop visiting my grave

And let me rest in peace

I know I should go

But I follow you like a woman possessed

There's a traitor here beneath my breast

And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed

If my heart could break it would break my chest

But I can see your unimpressed

So leave me be and let me rest in peace

Let me get some sleep

Let me take my love and bury it

In a hole six foot deep

I can lay my body down

But I can't find my sweet release

So let me rest in peace

Why won't you

Let me rest in peace
