Verse 1
I died so many years ago,
But you can make me feel like it isn't so.
Why you come to be with me I think I finally know.
Verse 2
You're scared, ashamed of what you feel,
But you can't tell the ones you love, you know they couldn't deal.
But whispering in a dead man's ear doesn't make it real.
Verse 3
That's great, but I don't want to play,
Because being with you touches me, more than I can say.
And since I'm only dead to you I'm saying stay away,
And let me rest in peace!
Chorus
Let me rest in peace! Let me get some sleep!
Let me take my love and bury it in a hole that's 6 feet deep!
I can lay my body down but I can't find my sweet release.
So let me rest in peace!
Verse 4
You know you've got a willing slave,
And you just love to play the part that you might misbehave.
Until you do I'm telling you stop visiting my grave,
And let me rest in peace!
Bridge
I know I should go but I follow you like a man possessed.
There's a traitor here beneath my breast and it hurts me more than you've
ever guessed.
If my heart could beat it would break my chest, but I can see you're unimpressed.
So leave me be and...
Chorus
Let me rest in peace! Let me get some sleep!
Let me take my love and bury it in a hole that's 6 feet deep!
I can lay my body down but I can't find my sweet release.
So let me rest in peace!
Outro
Why don't you let me rest in peace?
