Lyrics:

You're standing off the white church and you're pitching me three words

It yells a name falling off of - off my list of names

Those crashing lights, life is just like that - it's easy to forget

We make plans, and for the second I hit cold as the dirt black night grows close



Who has been painting my roses red?

I have nothing to show for you

I have nothing to show for you

I never wanted to play the fool for you



The dead come out - The beautiful ones are chosen

To dance and shout - Terrified and holding

Onto the one and only thing they ever had

A heart that's not dead but is dying in their hands



Why don't you - you never get tan?

You try and try but you just don't

Your crying eyes they start to bleed

How come I can't get no...

Why don't you - you never get tan?

You try and try but you just don't

Your crying eyes they start to bleed

How come I can't get no sleep?



Your smile grew thin as your family talked

Arrived singing just a holiday song

That didn't stop until you drank too much

How come I'm so out of...



I have nothing to show for you

I have nothing to show for you

I never wanted to play the fool for you
