Digging

You were the best thing and the worst thing in my life

Like wildflower honey on the sharp edge of my knife

You were born to sing

And I was born to drink and misbehave

Those were the days when I started digging this grave

You were the only girl ever to call me smart

But I was too stupid to see that it came from your heart

I was an angry child

You were a raging wildfire coming in waves

Those were the days when I started digging this grave

And if you see my hands on this shovel

See my hands in the earth

Please know that my love will never die

For what it's worth

Angry sounds of sirens filled the air

And all those lonely travelers stop and stare

The angel looks like you

But there's no one to rescue, no one to save

Those were the days when I started digging this grave

Those were the days when I started digging this grave
