The light sneaks in from under the door

I don't know where I am, but I've been here before

I found a message on the table, it's signed by you

G A

It says "I'm sorry for your loss, there's not much I can do"

And when they ask how long it's been this way,

Say not that long, just a couple of days

But you and I know that's not true

G A

I've been living this way since the day I met you

And I could see myself dying for you

If I don't leave now, then I'll be late

But if I show up on time, you'll call me fake

And don't give me shit, I put my money in

I thought that I'd be late, where the fuck have you been?

And what we had did not last long,

But the memories flood back when I sing this song

I want back everything I ever gave

And when they ask where I am, say "diggin' his grave"

Chorus:

And I could see myself never fully recovering
