REST IN PEACE

I died, so many years ag - o.

But you can make me feel like it isn't s - o.

And why you come to be with me, I think I finally know, mmm.

You're scared, ashamed of what you fe - el.

And you can't tell the ones you love, you know they couldn't de - al.

A whisper in a dead man's ear, it doesn't make it real.

That's great, but I don't want to pla - y.

'Cause bein' with you touches me, more than I can say.

And since I'm only dead to you, I'm sayin' stay awa - y.

And let me rest in peace.
Let me rest in peace! Let me get some sleep!

Let me take my love and bury it in a hole six foot deep!

I can lay my body down but I can't find my sweet release!

So let me rest in peace!
You know, you got a willin' slave.

And you just love to play the thought that you might misbehave.

But 'til you do, I'm tellin' you

Stop visiting my grave!

And let me rest in peace!
I know I should go,

But I follow you like a man possessed.

There's a traitor here beneath my breast,

And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed.

If my heart could beat it would break my chest.

But I can see you're unimpressed.

So leave me be,

And let me rest in peace! Let me get some sleep!

Let me take my love and bury it in a hole six foot deep!

I can lay my body down but I can't find my sweet release!

Let me rest in peace!

Why won't you let me rest in peace!
