"Cemetery Blues" lyrics
Everybody says I'll be fine, in no time
Everybody says I'm only lookin' down
Why does everybody seem to know me better than I do?
Say how I feel
Say how I am
Tell me I'm wrong
None of it's real
Well...
If that's my reality, then baby, how bout you?
I keep askin' myself what I'm missin'
Don't want no damn special attention
But
Everybody calls a cry for help a fuckin' stunt
They don't seem to understand
I hit a brick wall
They don't ever make it better
When they do call
The way I see it
Why do I try at all?
Maybe I don't need to?
Maybe I don't want to...
Maybe I'm dramatic
And I can't make up my mind?
And what if I decide to?
I don't wanna leave you
But I don't wanna hurt no more
I'm hurting all the time
Please just make it stop
My cemetery blues
Never asked to live
No one ever gets to choose
I don't wanna die
But everything's a lie
The ghosts are sayin'
"It's okay, wipe the tears from your eyes"
Please just make it stop
My cemetery blues
Try to be an optimist
And I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna die
But everything's a lie
Just stay one more day
Wipe the tears out your eyes
Just another specter in the graveyard
Everybody here is playin' with the same cards
Yeah you might as well bury me
While I'm awake
Cause the mask that I'm wearin' is a safe guard
And the face underneath is holdin' back, hard
No, I'll never understand why I'm so easy to break
I keep askin' myself what I'm missin'
Don't want no damn special attention
But
Everybody calls a cry for help a fuckin' stunt
They don't seem to understand
I hit a brick wall
They don't ever make it better
When they DO call
The way I see it
Why do I try at all?
Maybe what I should do...
Is take a little time to...
Try and understand why I feel like this all the time?
I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna leave you
I don't wanna end this all
And leave my pain behind
Please just make it stop
My cemetery blues
Never asked to live
No one ever gets to choose
I don't wanna die
But everything's a lie
The ghosts are sayin'
"It's okay, wipe the tears from your eyes"
Please just make it stop
My cemetery blues
Try to be an optimist
And I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna die
But everything's a lie
Just stay one more day
Wipe the tears out your eyes
Everybody says I'm only lookin' down
Why does everybody seem to know me better than I do?
Say how I feel
Say how I am
Tell me I'm wrong
None of it's real
Well...
If that's my reality, then baby, how bout you?
I keep askin' myself what I'm missin'
Don't want no damn special attention
But
Everybody calls a cry for help a fuckin' stunt
They don't seem to understand
I hit a brick wall
They don't ever make it better
When they do call
The way I see it
Why do I try at all?
Maybe I don't need to?
Maybe I don't want to...
Maybe I'm dramatic
And I can't make up my mind?
And what if I decide to?
I don't wanna leave you
But I don't wanna hurt no more
I'm hurting all the time
Please just make it stop
My cemetery blues
Never asked to live
No one ever gets to choose
I don't wanna die
But everything's a lie
The ghosts are sayin'
"It's okay, wipe the tears from your eyes"
Please just make it stop
My cemetery blues
Try to be an optimist
And I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna die

Wipe the tears out your eyes
