[Verse One] I told you I wanted to go in some kind of grace Yet here we are Dressed in black Not even a parade The cobblestones echo with boots a rain I told you (told you) I told you (told you) But it all fell away [Chorus] I told you I told you But you buried me deep Buried me and said rest in peace You wouldn't weep You buried me (buried me) Left my name in the dirt And my heart in a hole [Verse two] The roses have wilted The ribbons wither The preacher cracks And all you do it stare at the sun I said make it light Make it bright A song to sing Sing on the road But the choir hums low The organ groans And I'm cold [Bridge] I asked for blue skies You gave me black nights I begged for laughter And was left after [Chorus] I told you I told you But you buried me deep Buried me and said rest in peace You wouldn't weep You buried me (buried me) Left my name in the dirt And my heart in a hole [verse three] You took the words from my mouth Something I couldn't reclaim And wrote them in the dirt Signed with my name [Verse Four] Maybe the earth will cover my shame Maybe the rain could erase the blame But the echoes linger and always stay haunting the corners of every day [Chorus] I told you I told you But you buried me deep Buried me and said rest in peace You wouldn't weep You buried me (buried me) Left my name in the dirt And my heart in a hole [Outro] Walking this path All alone You promised you'd remember But your eyes are stone No lark dares to fly You said you'd remember me (remember me) (remember me) (remember)
