Nashville Cast
Buried under - alternate version
I wish that i didn't have to see
A confident is an enemy
The lines you cross
Helplessly I can only watch

Imagine words as they ricochet
Honesty that will never pay
Your convictions I believe
Like an apparition haunting me

Now the truth is a ball
And chain holding my conscious to the flame
Covered up but still i know
The secret of a life you're guilty of
The smoking gun is what I found
The dirt I have on you is the ground
Oh, I'm buried under

Try to tread through sink and sand
In your way, you know i can't stand
What I thought was meant to be
Is a broken heart weighing over me

The truth is a ball and chain
Holdin' my conscious to the flame
Covered up but still i know
The secret of a life you're guilty of
The smoking gun is what I found
The dirt I have on you is the ground
I'm buried under
Yeah, I'm buried under
Oh, I'm buried under
Can you fall for the wing of a dove
When the clever wolf is the one you love

Now the truth is a ball and chain
Holdin' my conscious to the flame
Covered up but still i know
The secret of a life you're guilty of
The smoking gun is what I found
The dirt I have on you is the ground
I'm buried under
Oh, I'm buried under

Wish that i didn't have to see
A confident as an enemy
