"Your Wife Is Dead" lyrics

"Your Wife Is Dead"

This house is haunted
Lately it's been feeling cold
You've been in mourning
For someone you used to know
I hate to break it
Your wife is dead

You miss your Mrs
Who had no fire in her bones
But something shifted
Do you resent the way she's grown
The fog has lifted
No tears were shed
Hi, have we met?
I'm not the girl who said I do

The honey from your honeymoon
The one who kept the peace no matter what the cost
Sorry, I'm not sorry for your loss
But I'm someone she wouldn't recognize
With strength to trust myself, and grit to get it off my chest
Feeling so alive since I laid her to rest ?
Your wife is dead

She drew her last breath
The day that I stopped wasting mine
I watched her eyes close
When I finally saw the signs
The patterns and the habits
That I had to bid adieu
Now you'll never wake up to
The girl who said I do

The honey from your honeymoon
The one who kept the peace no matter what the cost
Sorry, I'm not sorry for your loss
'Cause I'm someone she wouldn't recognize
With strength to trust myself, and grit to get it off my chest
Feeling so alive since I laid her to rest ?
Your wife is dead

You fell in love with
A wounded butterfly
And ended up with
Someone who ain't afraid to die
And now I'm wondering
If you'll love the woman
That I'm becoming
Not just the girl who said I do

The honey from your honeymoon
The one who kept the peace no matter what the cost
I'm so sorry, I'm not sorry for your loss
I'm someone she wouldn't recognize
With strength to trust myself, and grit to get it off my chest
Feeling so alive since I laid her to rest

Feeling so alive since I laid her to rest?
Your wife is dead
