Till We Earned A Holiday

The Anniversary

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
