The Birthday Massacre
Shallow Grave
[Verse 1]
Her voice cuts through the walls
Rings through everything that's hollow
These bitter words recall
All that's left and hard to swallow
[Pre-Chorus 1]
She was always good for nothing when the good broke bad
All she's got to lose is everything she never has
(Every back turned to her)
[Chorus]
We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag, everyday
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets at bay, everyday
[Verse 2]
Her blood runs hot to cold
Always breaking all she borrows
Her favours bought and sold
She lives like she's dead tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Just another reason looking for the next "because"
Just another has been wishing that she never was
(Every back turned to her)
[Chorus]
We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag, everyday
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets at bay, everyday
[Bridge]
Tomorrow's not a new day, more time to think things through
As patience starts to fall away, a day can feel like two
When we gave her a new face, the past was out of view
She never fooled us because she could never fool herself
[Outro]
We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag, everyday
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets at bay, everyday
