When thinking's just too much
And drinking's lost its touch
What do I do to bury you?
The liar behind your teeth
He made a fool of me
How did we get from A to Z?
Somebody tell me, oh how to let you go
The tintype photograph
The lazy epitaph
The locket where I kept our past
Reminders of why I bled
A proof of the life we led
In burning, each a tiny death
Somebody tell me, oh how to let you go
Your ghost is rattling bones in the back of my mind
Smoking cigarettes with the windows closed
And drinking all of my wine
Your ghost is shaking his chains inside of my head
Just to keep good time
And make sure I don't forget
Somebody tell me, oh how to let you go
Somebody tell me, oh how to let you go
