The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've been wasting away

Like the christ on the cross

And I can take no more

Was I too dumb to give up

Or too proud to give in

Don't even care no more

But I'm not here to raise the dead

Hang myself in every word that you said

I'm not here to share your bed

There are things to forgive

There are things to forget

There are thing I regret

And all the things that I did

All the things that I said

Are better left for dead

And I'm not here to raise the dead

Hang myself in every word that was said

If you want I'll take the blame

'Cause dreams get guried everyday

Now there is rose on our grave and the colours have faded

So why should we try to hold on

We're like dust in the wind, we are memory jaded

So say what you will, say what you will for

I cannot raise the dead, no

I cannot raise the dead

I cannot raise the dead, no

I cannot raise the dead

In a time before us

We were both someone else

And we can be again

We both let wrong one in

To keep the right one out

And now we're both without

So let's not try to raise the dead

Hang ourselves in all the words that were said long ago

If you want I'll take the blame

For dreams get buried everyday

Now there is rose on our grave and the colours have faded

So why should we try to hold on

We're like dust in the wind, we are memory jaded

So say what you will, say what you will for

I cannot raise the dead, no

I cannot raise the dead

I cannot raise the dead, no

I cannot raise the dead

Now there is rose on our grave and the colours have faded

So why should we try to hold on

We're like dust in the wind, we are memory jaded

So say what you will, say what you will for

There is rose on our grave and the colours have faded

So why should we try to hold on

We're like dust in the wind, we are memory jaded

So say what you will, say what you will for

I cannot raise the dead, no

I cannot raise the dead

I cannot raise the dead, no

I cannot raise the dead
