Bones

Darling I have laid it on the line for you
Given everything I have and I swear to god that's true
But from time to time my insides become pre-disclosed
Leaving all my ill advised decisions exposed

So let's settle down, and take it back to how things were before
Let's quit wandering aimlessly opening closed doors
To find skeletons hanging there wearing my old clothes
I'm hiding them as they decompose
Slowly sweeping up the dust that was their bones

I've made mistakes, fallen apart, ripped open my chest to fill this empty heart
With regret even though I knew the weight would pull me down
Into a grave I'll dig myself so deep that no one hears my cries for help
I swear I'll take that shovel with me deep into the ground
So no one knows what I'm hiding
I'm a man that longer has a conscience he confides in

So let's settle down, and take it back to how things were before
Let's quit wandering aimlessly opening closed doors
To find skeletons hanging there wearing my old clothes
I'm hiding them as they decompose
Slowly sweeping up the dust that was their bones
