lyrics

It was there I saw you
in a pine box
and your skin was gray
and the sky was gray
and your grave was gray
and then they dropped you
into the cold earth
and the dirt was gray
and the tears were gray
and nothing can wash away
what I've gone through
and what you've gone through
you're in the dark room
and you're stuck in the well
you know it much too well
your secret's kept hell bent

But you let me down
you let me down
I'm sorry you waited for so long
for it all to take hold

you've left the dark room
as the sun goes down
it shines upon you
and you're still a shade of gray

so can I talk to you
from the hallway
when the light would fade
you close the door instead
and tell me it's all in my head
but I know your mind
it's because we're from the same place
and we bleed the same
and share each other's pain
I was there to hold you up

But you let me down
you let me down
I'm sorry you waited for so long
for it all to take hold
