BODY BAG

To the first that scratched the surface

The blemishes made me nervous

Juggling the torches in a circus

Gave the fire some sort of purpose

A new paved road formed a pothole

Tore the pages of our gospel

A peaceful terminations not hostile

Counting to infinity wasn’t possible

Youre dead to me but still I see

The version of you left in me

Smelted the impression left with the slag

Everywhere I go I drag your body bag

Despite the heartbreak I thank you for what you’ve done

You gave me a glimpse of how it comes undone

We had so much fun but now we’re done

I forgave the bullet and blamed the gun

Despite the heartbreak I see how far I have come

You gave me a glimpse of what life could become

We had so much fun but now we’re done

I forgave the bullet and blamed the gun

To the second that took the ring

I was a puppet on your string

Dancing to notes that you would sing

Until you moved on to the next best thing

An old paved road formed a pothole

Tore the pages of our gospel

A hateful termination is hostile

Counting to infinity wasn’t possible

Youre dead to me but still I see

The version of you left in me

Smelted the impression left with the slag

Everywhere I go I drag your body bag

Despite the heartbreak I thank you for what you’ve done

You gave me a glimpse of how it comes undone

We had so much fun but now we’re done

I forgave the bullet and blamed the gun

Despite the heartbreak I see how far I have come

You gave me a glimpse of what life could become

We had so much fun but now we’re done

I forgave the bullet and blamed the gun

We tried, we failed

We cried, we bailed

But of this time we spent

There’s not a thing that I regret

Youre dead to me but still I see

The version of you left in me

Smelted the impression left with the slag

Everywhere I go I drag your body bag

Despite the heartbreak I thank you for what you’ve done

You gave me a glimpse of how it comes undone

We had so much fun but now we’re done

I forgave the bullet and blamed the gun

Despite the heartbreak I see how far I have come

You gave me a glimpse of what life could become

We had so much fun but now we’re done

I forgave the bullet and blamed the gun

We tried, we failed

We cried, we bailed

(Sometimes it’s just a lesson)

But of this time we spent

There’s not a thing that I regret

(Now I’m on to the next)

We tried, we failed

We cried, we bailed

Sometimes love is loss dressed in

A disguise to teach you a lesson
