I take my cap off

A light inside me switched off

A flatline, you're cloaked in peace

Underneath is you that once lived

I'm fine, i'm fine, i'm fine

Now I'm looking at your grave

Lilies on one hand and my tears on the other

Oh, I looked around and they faintly smiled

But they don't seem to bother

Except for the headstone and the flowers

They head home

And I walked up to the diner, I put my apron on

I try to forget but you linger on

It's all the same thing, it goes on and on

And on and on

Hmmmm hmmmm

Now I'm looking at your grave

Lilies on one hand and my tears on the other

Oh, I looked around and they faintly smiled

But they don't seem to bother

Except for the headstone and the flowers

Oh, why can't it be me

Take this life 'cause it's so hard to breathe

It should be you looking down on me

As they lay me to rest

Lay me to rest

Please this doesn't make sense to me

Please let it be me

Six feet under, please

Let it be me

Let it be me

Let it be me

But I can't turn back time

I take my cap off with peace on my mind

Now I'm looking at your grave

Lilies on one hand and my tears on the other

Oh I looked around and smiled to myself

And they don't seem to bother

But the next time they'll visit you

They'll finally see

The headstone with the flowers
