You Left Me in the Ground

Verse 1: You said forever like you meant it Like I was something you could keep Then you disappeared without a warning And left me buried underneath Everybody says I should move on Like it’s easy letting go But there’s dirt beneath my fingernails From trying to claw my way back home Pre-Chorus: I still feel your shadow Like it’s hanging over me You walked away so easy And I’m still underneath Chorus: You left me in the ground With dirt beneath my nails Screaming at the sky But nobody could tell You left me in the dark With your name inside my mouth Now I’m crawling out the grave You left me in the ground Verse 2: I still hear your voice some nights Like it’s coming through the walls And I still wake up reaching for you Even though there’s nothing there at all Everybody thinks I’m getting better Cause I learned to fake a smile But there’s something dead inside me now And it’s been there for awhile Pre-Chorus: I still feel your shadow Like it’s hanging over me You walked away so easy And I’m still underneath Chorus: You left me in the ground With dirt beneath my nails Screaming at the sky But nobody could tell You left me in the dark With your name inside my mouth Now I’m crawling out the grave You left me in the ground Bridge: Maybe I was never meant To survive the way you left Maybe some things stay buried Even after they come back You took every piece of me And left the rest to rot Now I’m standing in the wreckage Trying to be somebody I’m not Final Chorus: You left me in the ground With dirt beneath my nails Screaming at the sky But nobody could tell You left me in the dark With your name inside my mouth Now I’m crawling out the grave You left me in the ground
