My Tears Ricochet

we gather here we line up weepin in a sunlit room

and if i'm on fire you'll be made of ashes too

even on my worst day did i deserve babe

all the hell you gave me

cause i loved you i swear i loved you

til my dying day

i didn't have it in myself to go with grace

and you're the hero flying around saving face

and if i'm dead to you why are you at the wake

cursing my name wishing i stayed

look at how my tears ricochet

we gather stones never knowing what they'll mean

some to throw some to make a diamond ring

you know i didn't want to have to haunt you

but what a ghostly scene

you wear the same jewels that i gave you

as you bury me

i didn't have it in myself to go with grace

cause when i'd fight you used to tell me i was brave

and if i'm dead to you why are you at the wake

cursing my name wishing i stayed

look at how my tears ricochet

and i can go anywhere i want

anywhere i want just not home

and you can aim for my heart go for blood

but you would still miss me in your bones

and i still talk to you [bracketed]

and when you can't sleep at night [bracketed]

i didn't have it in myself to go with grace

and so the battleships will sink beneath the waves

you had to kill me but it killed you just the same

cursing my name wishing i stayed

you turned into your worst fears

and you're tossing out blame drunk on this pain

crossing out the good years

and you're cursing my name wishing i stayed

look at how my tears ricochet
