I swear to god I didn't see it coming.
everything seemed a-okay to me
so then you dropped that bomb on my front doorstep
I was surprised it could ever come to be
A decade and another five years
and then you add two more
Well sprinkle in another half but I still wanted more
forever love you promised
and your word was always gold
but I didn't do my part and now you've pushed me through the door
Ya better bury me 12 feet under
dig it twice as deep for me
better bury me 12 feet under to escape the memory
of how I failed and how you sailed away
for eternity
Now my tunnel vision all went black again
and that candle in my kitchen just burned out because i sinned
I'm sorry that that I caused you so much pain
I wish I had another chance cuz I'm the one to blame
Ya better bury me 12 feet under
dig it twice as deep for me
better bury me 12 feet under to escape the memory
of how I failed and how you sailed away
for eternity
Now I guexss we're back to all those years ago
back to that last good bye and all the pain I've come to know
I sure hope that you will have a happy life
but I wish I hadn't lost the chance to have you for my wife
Ya better bury me 12 feet under
dig it twice as deep for me
better bury me 12 feet under to escape the memory
of how I failed and how you sailed away
for eternity
