Throwing Dirt Upon Your Grave

Written 1993

Verse 1:
you haven't died, but sometimes I wish you would
or even move away, out of my neighborhood
you still stop by, you say you want to be my friend
well I don't treat my friends that way, I need to see an end

Refrain:
throwing dirt upon your grave
wash my hands of it
putting nails into your casket
laying you to rest, I'm letting go
looking toward the future
living in the present
say goodbye to the past
throw some dirt upon your grave

Verse 2:
you smile at me, as if it wasn't us
you come to talk, but it's nothing to discuss
I watch the patterns, you seem happy to repeat
well I don't want to see anymore, I need the break to be complete

Refrain.

Verse 3:
you say you're leaving, but you never really came
I should have seen it, but it's nothing I could name
it's complicated, when did loving cease
my happiness is dented now, I need to feel release

Refrain.
