Bon Jovi & Jon Bon Jovi - Why Aren't You Dead? lyrics

rate me

(written by: Vedran Devcic)

I got the letter you left under my door

Knocked me on my ass to the floor

Never knew two words could take such a bite

It said, "Dear Jon, Hello. Goodbye."

I saw your car parked outside Motel Cascade

Saw two shadows go to town on the shade

I can't believe my own lyin' eyes, oh my

It better be your girlfriend I saw going down some other guy

You told me you loved me, 'til death do us part

So tell me there's a tombstone where there used to be a heart

Chorus:

You said you couldn't live without me

So why aren't you dead?

Instead of six feet under you're in someone else's bed

There's just one thing that I can't get through my head

You said you couldn't live without me so why aren't you dead?

I cut your face out of our old photographs

And all the junk you left behind's in the trash

Well, I hoped you were a goner for sure

Well, there's been a resurrection, yeah, a miracle cure

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

If you can't trust the livin' baby who can you trust?

Chorus:

You said you couldn't live without me

So why aren't you dead?

Instead of six feet under you're in someone else's bed

There's just one thing that I can't get through my head

You said you couldn't live without me so why aren't you dead?

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

If you can't trust the livin' baby who can you trust?

Chorus:

You said you couldn't live without me

So why aren't you dead?

Instead of six feet under you're in someone else's bed

There's just one thing that I can't get through my head

You said you couldn't live without me baby, so why aren't you dead?

You said you couldn't live with out me, what a surprise!

Instead of laying you out I'm laying down on the line

You spend my hard-earned money, you left me in the red

You said you couldn't live without me. so why aren't you dead?

Why aren't you dead?
