Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been wasting way like the Christ on the cross

And I can't take no more

Was I too dumb to give up or too proud to give in?

Don't even care no more

But I'm not here to raise the dead

Hang myself in every word that you said

I'm not here to share your bed

[Verse 2]

There are things to forgive, there are things to forget

There are things I regret

And all the things that I did, all the things that I said

All that I left for dead

And I'm not here to raise the dead

Hang myself in every word that you said

If you want, I'll take the blame

'Cause trees get buried every day

[Verse 3]

Now there is rose on our grave and the colors are fading

So why should we try to hold on?

We're like dust in the wind, we are never retreating

So say what you will, say what you're here for

[Verse 4]

I cannot raise the dead, no

I cannot raise the dead

I cannot raise the dead, no

I cannot raise the dead

[Verse 5]

In the time before us, we were both someone else

And we can be again

We brought the wrong one in to keep the right one out

And now we're both without

So let's not try to raise the dead

Hang ourselves in all the words that were said long ago

If you want, I'll take the blame

For trees get buried every day

[Verse 6]

Now there is rose on our grave and the colors are fading

So why should we try to hold on?

We're like dust in the wind, we are never retreating

So say what you will, say what you're here for

[Verse 7]

I cannot raise the dead, no

I cannot raise the dead

I cannot raise the dead, no

I cannot raise the dead

[Verse 8]

Now there is rose on our grave and the colors are fading

So why should we try to hold on?

We're like dust in the wind, we are never retreating

So say what you will, say what you're here for

[Verse 9]

There is rose on our grave and the colors are fading

So why should we try to hold on?

We're like dust in the wind, we are never retreating

So say what you will, say what you're here for

[Verse 10]

I cannot raise the dead, no

I cannot raise the dead

I cannot raise the dead, no

I cannot raise the dead
