Casket Closed

Breaking up in more ways than one

Come undone

A loaded gun

While your finger

Softly lingers

On the trigger

Just for fun

What was your phrase?

"We’re just a phase"

An empty place

To leave behind

Cut me with words

Knew how they'd hurt

But now you’re with her

So you don’t mind

Why are you fine

While I’m doing time

In the jail of our demise?

Why are you good

While I’m still stood

In the place where our love died?

Tell me why

Am I mourning all alone?

Casket closed

I’m on my own

Six feet under the ground

We’ll never be found

Love won’t make sound

Go, say something profound

I know you won't

Left me with some kind of curse

And now I’m chasing this hearse

With lines all rehearsed

My god you’re the worst

And I know how this will

Go

Why are you chill

With looks that could kill

While I lose my will to carry on

Why are you cool

While I’m playing the fool

Talking to ghosts already gone

Tell me why

Am I grieving all alone

Casket closed

I’m on my own
