The R.I.P. Lyrics

they say love is like a cloud,
yours was a damp shallow grave.
did you cry or were you too proud?
i hope you get what you gave.
i held us up and the weight pushed me down
so this is the price we must pay.
a single rose on a burial mound
that's what's left of this bed that we've made.
tonight
let the rotten decay

i will never see the night the same way you see it.
i'll never lie, the same way that you did.
this was your end but it's my beginning,
you've changed me you've changed me you've changed me
keep what's left and bury the rest in peace.

here lies, alone in the ground
and so on, the tombstone will say.
rehearsed goodbyes finally spoken out loud
like an act in some play.
i'd dry your tears but there's none to be found.
your grey stormy eyes have betrayed.
the feeble pulse of the heart i surround
alone like the rose here i lay.
tonight
let the rotten decay
i will never see the night the same way you see it.
i'll never lie, the same way that you did.
this was your end but it's my beginning,
you've changed me you've changed me you've changed me
keep what's left and bury the rest in peace.
rest in piece

i know that there will come a day
when the requiems will play
i'll rise up from my earthly cell screaming a song
that won't be ours.

i will never see the night the same way you see it.
i'll never lie, the same way that you did.
this was your end but it's my beginning,
you've changed me you've changed me you've changed me
keep what's left and bury the rest in peace.
