lyrics

well, we stood round your grave
as we said our goodbyes.
I wanted to laugh,
and I wanted to cry,
but I felt no emotion
as they lowered you down
I just wanted to shake you
right out of the ground

'cuz you were somebody's baby
you had plenty to lose
and no one believed
thus is what you would choose
and now your family is broken
and they're calling out your name
how lucky for you:
now you can't feel ashamed no more.

and not a soul, not a sound
accompanied your bow.
your jesus must be proud,
and now we see 'em cry
all the time.
they're crying just for you;
well, maybe you wanted them to?
well, baby, how good for you.

ah, didn't you look cozy
in your three-piece suit,
surrounded by roses
and pictures of your youth?
ain't it funny how we mourn you,
ain't it silly that we care?
we think of all these things you like
when you're not even there no more.

and not a soul, not a sound
accompanied your bow.
your jesus must be proud,
and now we see 'em cry
all the time.
they're crying just for you;
well, maybe you wanted them to?
well, baby, how good for you.

and now the funeral is over,
and there's nothing left to say.
we shuffle to our cars
and we go our separate ways.
but the sun'll keep on rising,
doesn't matter if you're gone.
the world is gonna spin,
and without you, we'll go
on and on and on

and not a soul, not a sound
lay witness when you fell.
now maybe there's a hell
for all the little girls
and all the boys
who give up and take their lives
and make their mommas cry
and leave us wondering why?
