Anniversary - Till We Earned A Holiday lyrics

rate me

You're standing off the white church and you're pitching me three words<br />

It yells a name falling off of - off my list of names<br />

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

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

<br />

Who has been painting my roses red?<br />

I have nothing to show for you<br />

I have nothing to show for you<br />

I never wanted to play the fool for you<br />

<br />

The dead come out - The beautiful ones are chosen <br />

To dance and shout - Terrified and holding<br />

Onto the one and only thing they ever had<br />

A heart that's not dead but is dying in their hands<br />

<br />

Why don't you - you never get tan?<br />

You try and try but you just don't<br />

Your crying eyes they start to bleed<br />

How come I can't get no...<br />

Why don't you - you never get tan?<br />

You try and try but you just don't<br />

Your crying eyes they start to bleed<br />

How come I can't get no sleep?<br />

<br />

Your smile grew thin as your family talked<br />

Arrived singing just a holiday song<br />

That didn't stop until you drank too much<br />

How come I'm so out of...<br />

<br />

I have nothing to show for you<br />

I have nothing to show for you<br />

I never wanted to play the fool for you
