lyrics

in California she don't lose no time, it's what she's getting
Eastern Shore out in the summertime--still not letting her
escape all of the pain she brought upon herself
when she decided to take up a spot upon his shelf
a dirty notebook with an address written just inside
he's got no secrets, he swears--with girls and poems made to hide
she's sleeping six feet below him, he don't wanna catch a cold
but flash a glimpse of greener grass and baby he's sold

and now she's sitting in the basement breathing in the fumes
they say "don't worry 'bout your health, just pick a pretty tomb"
she's planting flowers by her grave to make it feel like home
she's spilling secrets through the roots and happily alone
happily alone

too busy running from her home and tryna stay away
although she's always crawling back--forgets just where she came
she counts the keys thrown on the nightstand. one for every ghost
if she were smart she'd toss them out. keep her lighter close.

and now she's sitting in the basement breathing in the fumes
they say "don't worry 'bout your health, just pick a pretty tomb"
she's planting flowers by her grave to make it feel like home
she's spilling secrets through the roots and happily alone
happily alone

she's setting fire to the pictures pinned above her bed
she's burning bridges as she's crossing, hanging by a thread
she's tossing letters out the window--ones she's never read
she can't go on burning the memories stuck inside her head
she's setting fire to the pictures pinned above her bed
she's burning bridges as she's crossing, hanging by a thread
she's tossing letters out the window--ones she's never read
she can't go on burning the memories stuck inside her head

it's all inside her head
