oh graveyard keeper
why do you stop at her tomb
i'm trying to pull the rot out of her room
she says she's at doom
an inch from the gloom
she buries all her feelings
and watches it turn to dust
choking it 'till it stops breathing
and leaving it to rust
oh grave. grave. grave.
Hook
oh graveyard keeper, graveyard keeper
you know i'm not a keeper
don't keep her, don't keep her
uh uh uh
i hate that i can't see right through you
but you can see right through me
tell me are my insides outside, or is the outside inside me?
are my insides inside-out?
how do i know what you're thinking about
(i'm just thinking out loud)
thinking out loud
Bridge
oh graveyard keeper, graveyard keeper
you know i'm not a keeper
i'm removing these wilted roses off her grave
i'll weed her abandoned garden
everything i have i already gave
know you're worth trying to save
Refrain
i won't let the worms have what's left of her to keep
they can't feast on the rot she was too tired to weep
Breakdown
and if i find her corpse, i'm pulling it out the deep end
'cause i don't want this to deepen
i just want you to depend
on anything that keeps you hanging on again
Interlude
oh, graveyard keeper
don't let her go to eternal sleep
she was never yours to keep
Hook
oh graveyard keeper, graveyard keeper
you know i'm not a keeper
please don't keep her, don't keep her
don't- don't don't keep her, keeper
don't- don't don't keep her, keeper
don't- don't keep her, keeper
