lyrics

Don't dig up my bones
To show them how you think I was,
A relic of your past
When you thought you were in love.

Don't dig up my bones,
They're deeper than you'll ever know.
Now, at the core, at the heart of it,
It's red hot, you're not a part of it-
Leave well enough alone.
Don't you dig up my bones.

I clawed at the air,
Till all my edges were perforated.
Any push would set me off for good.
When you got to be too much,
I grabbed my rusted shovel
And I tunneled for the center of the earth.

So, don't dig up my bones
To show them how you think I was,
A relic of your past
When you thought you were in love.

Don't dig up my bones,
They're deeper than you'll ever know.
Now, at the core, at the heart of it,
It's red hot, you're not a part of it-
Leave well enough alone...

So many useless pieces you've unearthed,
The truth is--The truth is gonna hurt like hell.
So don't lie, it's only petrified devotion you display,
It's better buried away.

So, don't you dig up my bones
To show them how you think I was,
A relic of your past
When you thought you were in love.

Don't dig up my bones,
They're deeper than you'll ever know.
Now, at the core, at the heart of it,
It's red hot, you're not a part of it-
Leave well enough alone.
Don't you dig up my bones.
