Buried - Jessica Taylor

I’m sorry I always forget to answer my phone

I’m sorry I left you alone

I thought we had grown

But when I see your name I just groan

It’s beyond repair

It’s beyond what’s fair

It’s beyond what you gave me, 'cause it’s not all there

Must’ve dropped it somewhere

Must’ve lost it along the line

We’ve been buried in the dirt

Let’s plant some flowers, make it work

But they always drown again

I should’ve known

We’ve been severed, split and cut

Grab a bandage, patch it up

Good as new, until we’re ripped and left alone

Oh, I don’t think that I’ve got it in me

And I hate to break the bliss

You were great, so sweet, so patient with me

But it can’t make up for this

All the glittering generalities

Throw away my morality

If I just pretend

If I just convince myself

Seeing you has become a chore

Please don’t blame me if I want more

I would stay if I could love you well

We’ve been buried in the dirt

Let’s plant some flowers, make it work

But they always drown again

I should’ve known

We’ve been severed, split and cut

Grab a bandage, patch it up

Good as new, until we’re ripped and left alone

Oh, I don’t think that I’ve got it in me

And I hate to break the bliss

You were great, so sweet, so patient with me

But it can’t make up for this

Oh, I don’t think that I’ve got it in me

And I hate to do you wrong

If I’m honest, we don’t fit like I need

We’ve been buried all along

Buried all along

We’ve been buried all along

Buried all along

Oh, I don’t think that I’ve got it in me

And I hate to break the bliss

You were great, so sweet, so patient with me

But it can’t make up for this

Oh, I don’t think that I’ve got it in me

And I hate to do you wrong

If I’m honest, we don’t fit like I need

We’ve been buried all along
