[Verse 1]
By the time you'd have woven the casket
The sheets will have started to smell
By the time you'd remember the windows
The insects will be kissing me farewell

[Pre-Chorus]
You'd never stomach me in the closet
Like all those rooms you'd never clean
Darling, there's no better hatchet to bury than me

[Chorus]
So, let's throw my garden party
You promised roses, but gave me thorns
You'd leave me rotting 'til summer's over
Guess I'll be digging alone

[Verse 2]
By the time you'd remember my favorite dress
You'd have put me in yours
By the time you'd be asking for makeup
My body would be halfway out the door

[Pre-Chorus]
You never bothered showing up in your best
'Cause who'd wanna dirty their sleeves?
Darling, there's no better hatchet to bury than me
[Chorus]
So, let's throw my garden party
You promised roses, but gave me thorns
You'd leave me rotting 'til summer's over
Guess I'll be digging alone

[Bridge]
If you wanted to kill me
Missed your chance long ago
I can tell you won't miss me
Guess it takes one to know

[Pre-Chorus]
You never bothered with any respect
You won't treat my death differently
Darling, there's no better hatchet to bury than...

[Chorus]
So, let's throw my garden party
You promised roses, but gave me thorns
You'd leave me rotting 'til summer's over
Guess I'll be digging a

[Outro]
Hole, just my garden party
Feeding my roses with dirt and bones
You'll be here rotting 'til summer's over
Guess I'll be digging, all the while singing
"Guess I'll be digging alone"
