Just how long will you pretend
There's nothing left but to bide end
Free me now on your own time, lover
Go play hero to another
Pain stood up, your shovel came down
Dug my heart a grave in the ground
With my hand tugging on his sleeves
And I think it's right, that you should leave
No, this ain't the way it's gotta be
Oh, grim reaper but stay away from me
Tell me, how do you think it's fair
To burying hearts so casually
The mourners have all gone home
I guess I'll stick it out on my own
My heart six feet down with my ear to the ground
Praying for the bell to ring
My heart six feet down with my ear to the ground
Praying for the bell to ring
Freedom can be a painful thing
When you're used to the good love brings
Lovers words thrown to the wind
Will we ever see them again
Pain stood up your shovel came down
He dug me heart a grave in the ground
With me hand tugging on his sleeves
Said: I think it's right for you to leave
No, this ain't the way it's gotta be
Oh, grim reaper stay away from me
Tell me, how do you think it's fair
To burying hearts so casually
The mourners have all gone home
I guess I'll stick it out on my own
My heart six feet down with my ear to the ground
Praying for the bell to ring
Six feet down with my ear to the ground
Praying for the bell to ring
