see you at the funeral..

[VERSE 1] My best friend called before I went Said, "Just so you know, she's coming" Gave me the choice, said, "You don't have to" I said, "I'll go anyway" Used to think if you walked in I'd be the one who had to leave Funny how the room gets bigger When you finally let yourself breathe [PRE-CHORUS] So I said hello I smiled Said goodbye And stayed a while No scene No fight Just let the dead have their night [CHORUS] I'll see you at the funeral For somebody we both knew You can play your little games I've got better things to do You sat where I could see you Talking just loud enough But I've seen this show before And honestly, it's lost its touch I'll see you at the funeral Then I'll go on living mine [VERSE 2] You had your hand wrapped around somebody new Like you always need somebody standing between us Same old shield Same old show Same old me you're waiting to provoke I heard my name I let it pass Didn't give you what you asked Girl, I know these games by heart Sorry, I'm bored [BRIDGE] You looked older than I remember And somehow that made me sad Somewhere underneath all this I thought you'd still choose better I thought I'd feel something Turns out I felt alright Maybe peace is just the moment You stop needing to be right [FINAL CHORUS] I'll see you at the funeral For somebody we both knew No, it isn't comfortable But I don't have to choose I can stand across the room I can let the silence sit I don't need to make a war Just because you started it I'll see you at the funeral And I won't disappear [OUTRO] So there won't be a final argument There won't be a grand goodbye You know the boundaries I've said them enough times I'll let you live your life You let me live mine And if we happen to share a room again I won't be the one who leaves I'll see you around, Mum
