"Digging" lyrics

You were the best thing and the worst thing in my life
Like wildflower honey on the sharp edge of my knife
You were born to sing
I was born to drink
And misbehave
Those were the days when I started digging this grave

You were the only girl ever to call me smart
But I was too stupid to see that it came from your heart
I was an angry child
You were a raging wildfire coming in waves
Those were the days when I started digging this grave

And if you see my hands on this shovel
See my hands in the earth
Please know that my love will never die for what it's worth

Angry sounds of sirens filled the air
And all those lonely travelers stop and stare
The angel looks like you
But there is no one to rescue, no one to save
Those were the days when I started digging this grave
Those were the days when I started digging this grave
