[Verse 1]
When this freedom stains my coat
With the winter in my throat
When I'm lost I dig the dirt
When I fall I drive the hearse

[Chorus]
And silence is another way
Of saying what I wanna say
And lying is another way
Of hoping it will go away
And you were always my mistake

[Verse 2]
Given time I fix the roof
Given cash I speak the truth

[Chorus]
And silence is another way
Of saying what I wanna say
And lying is another way
Of hoping it will go away
And you were always my mistake

[Post-Chorus]
When I'm down I drive the hearse
[Verse 3]
When this boredom wears me out
Then the sky begins to cloud
Sleeping with my ball and chain
When she cries I take the blame

[Pre-Chorus]
And pride is just another way
Of trying to live with my mistakes
Denial is a better way
Of getting through another day

[Chorus]
And silence is another way
Of saying what I wanna say
And lying is another way
Of hoping it will go away
And you were always my mistake

[Post-Chorus]
When I'm down I drive the hearse
