i really don't know wht's wrong with me today

[easily_replaced]

I died, so many years ago.
But you can make me feel like it isn't so.
And why you come to be with me, I think I finally know, mmm.
You're scared, ashamed of what you fe - el.
And you can't tell the ones you love, you know they couldn't de - al.
A whisper in a dead man's ear, it doesn't make it real.
That's great, but I don't want to pla - y.
'Cause bein' with you touches me, more than I can say.
And since I'm only dead to you, I'm sayin' stay awa - y.
And let me rest in peace.

I know I should go,
But I follow you like a man possessed.
There's a traitor here beneath my breast,
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed.
If my heart could beat it would break my chest.
But I can see you're unimpressed.
So leave me be,

And let me rest in peace! Let me get some sleep!
Let me take my love and bury it in a hole six foot deep!
I can lay my body down but I can't find my sweet release...
Let me rest in peace!
Why won't you let me rest in peace!
