Graveyards

It's not your fault that for years I've daydreamed in tragedy and eulogy But this is a declaration of friendship and a document of my fears All of my words add up to nothing, it's your broken heart that you have to live with I can no more convince you to stay alive then I could take the sadness from your eyes or a gun from your hand And so if this is the last time that we part, let us part well God knows I've given you enough sermons over the years But give me a reason why I should go it alone When it's partly your fault that I've come to depend on you All my words are sharpened with sorrow Believing you'll be gone tomorrow It's the rattle and crawl of loneliness inside that keeps me staying, keeps me pleading It's a sellout and a hollow death, but it's your life and choice to make I'm pointing fingers and calling you selfish, but realizing I am selfish too The graveyards are littered with those I love, and I don't want to lose anymore And so if this is the last time that we part, let us part well God knows I've given you enough sermons over the years But give me a reason why I should go it alone When it's partly your fault that I've come to depend on you All my words are sharpened with sorrow Believing you'll be gone tomorrow I'm just scared, I'm just scared I don't want to live without you
