You're standing off the white church and you're pitching me three words
It yells a name falling off of - off my list of names
Those crashing lights, life is just like that - it's easy to forget
We make plans, and for the second i hit cold as the dirt black night grows close
Who has been painting my roses red?
I have nothing to show for you
I have nothing to show for you
I never wanted to play the fool for you
The dead come out - the beautiful ones are chosen
To dance and shout - terrified and holding
Onto the one and only thing they ever had
A heart that's not dead but is dying in their hands
Why don't you - you never get tan?
You try and try but you just don't
Your crying eyes they start to bleed
How come i can't get no...
Why don't you - you never get tan?
You try and try but you just don't
Your crying eyes they start to bleed
How come i can't get no sleep?
Your smile grew thin as your family talked
Arrived singing just a holiday song
That didn't stop until you drank too much
How come i'm so out of...
I have nothing to show for you
I have nothing to show for you
I never wanted to play the fool for you
