Anniversary The Till We Earned A Holiday Lyrics

Till We Earned A Holiday Lyrics

You're standing off the white church,
And your pitching me three words.
It
yells a name 
Falling off my- 
Off my list of names.

Those crashing
lights,
Life is just like that-
It's easy to forget.
When we make
plans, 
And for the second I hit cold,
As the dirt black night grows
close. 

Who has been painting 
My roses red?

And I have
nothing to show for you now.
And I have nothing to show for you now.
I
never wanted 
(I never wanted)
I never wanted
To play the fool for
you.

The dead come out 
As 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 a holiday song
That
didn't stop until you drank too much.
How come I'm so out of
touch?

And I have nothing to show for you now
And I have nothing to
show for you now
I never wanted 
(I never wanted)
I never wanted

To play the fool for you.
