The Necropolis of Former Lovers

We walk together through a garden every day
 It seemed a place of peace, it did for me anyway
 But you saw tigers lurking just beyond the fences
 Tear up those paper cats, there nothing more than your defenses
 You kick the crosses of my exes every day
 It never made you seem better than them in any way
 You read between the lines of epitaphs on graves
 Even in bed, you raise the dead to speak their names
 Don't wake the beast while she's asleep
 Don't dig for demons underneath
 In this necropolis where former lovers lay
 Don't try so hard to dig that hole for your own grave
 You kick the crosses of my exes every day
 It never made you seem better than her in any way
 You read between the lines of epitaphs on graves
 Even in bed, you raise the dead to speak her name
 I could have walked beside you endlessly
 But I grew weary of the shallow graves you lead me to
 It's nothing short of a tragedy
 You finally made me sad enough to write that song about you
 I could have walked beside you endlessly
 But I grew weary of the shallow graves you lead me to
 It's nothing short of a tragedy
 You finally made me sad enough to write that song about you
 You finally made me sad enough to write that song about you
 You finally made me mad enough to write that song about you
