[Verse 1]
Cold ring on my hand
But my finger's bare
Hear "’til death do us part"
From an empty chair
Your name hits my tongue
Like a childhood scar
Every photograph flickers
And I know who you are
[Chorus]
I was your gravebound bride
Wore white into the dark
Now you’re the burning eyes
Staring through every heart
You say
"I died for you
You won't die like I did"
My past life comes alive
When you pull me from him
[Verse 2]
You freeze the room solid
When a stranger leans near
His breath on my shoulder
Turns to fog in your fear
You slam every door shut
That a man walks through
They think I’m just distant
They don’t feel you
[Chorus]
I was your gravebound bride
Wore white into the dark
Now you’re the burning eyes
Staring through every heart
You say
"I bled for you
You won't bleed like I did"
My past life comes alive
When you pull me from him
[Bridge]
He’s smiling over fences
Mowing poisoned grass
Coffee on his doorstep
Watching shadows pass
You drag me to the window
"(Look at what he hides)"
Dirt under his fingernails
Matches where you died
I see you on his doorstep
Rain in your hair
Blood on the welcome mat
He left you there
[Chorus]
I was your gravebound bride
Wore white into the dark
Now I see those watching eyes
Living right next door to us
You say
"He buried me
He won’t bury you again"
So haunt my every step
'Til the grave takes him
[Outro]
Guard me
My ghost
My guide (hey!)
Stand between his grin and mine
If I must love you twice
I'll love you across the crime
