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

Than 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 already littered with those that 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 don't want to live without you
