"The Nail" lyrics

"The Nail"

I didn't drag you in with that mornin' sun
I put the bottle to your head and make you drink that much
I didn't tell those lies that rolled off your tongue
Or get you tangled up in that web you spun

You dug your grave all by yourself
With a shovel and a spade, you didn't need no help
You were holding Heaven, you shot it all to hell
You built the coffin, I just hammered the nail

I ain't crying wolf, I ain't changing my mind
Just to drive it home, I swung a few more times
And I cut that line that was hanging by a thread
I ain't digging back up what's already dead

You dug your grave all by yourself
With a shovel and a spade, you didn't need no help
You were holding Heaven, you shot it all to hell
Yeah, you built the coffin, I just hammered the nail

R.I.P., you and me
Our love's buried six feet deep
R.I.P., you and me
Our love's buried six feet deep

You dug your grave all by yourself
With a shovel and a spade, you didn't need no help
You were holding Heaven you shot it all to hell
You built the coffin, I just hammered the nail

Yeah, you built the coffin, I just hammered the nail
