about

A tired old burden.. good for nothing, but pain

lyrics

Hang my heart on a nail in the wall
Let it gather dust, don't need it anymore
A tired old burden, good for nothing but pain
I'll take my chances with the hole that remains

I've been spending all my time hanging with buzzards and crows
Like me, they just won't let things go
Try as I might to get you out of my mind
I find myself picking at the scraps left behind

Chorus:
I thought that I could move to something new
but this feeling keeps hanging around
Leaving ain't the worst thing I could do
but your ghost keeps dragging me down

So I buried my heart six feet under the ground
an unmarked grave where it couldn't be found
and turn out the lights, thinking I was finally free
to find your spirit still haunting me

(Chorus again)
With all this weight of all this sorrow
a soul left thin and bare
I'll just wait... one more tomorrow
though I know you won't be there
