Murderer
Don't meddle too much
Don't take away his breath
Don't remove the indent from my bed
Stop walking around
You might stir up the air
And diffuse his fingerprints from my doorknob
Don't wash the dishes
His lips have been on that glass
And that water has touched his mouth
Don't open the windows
This is all I have left
And I'm not ready to let go just yet
I knew something was wrong that night
I could see it in his eyes
But the lights were too dim to be sure
I knew there was something lurking inside
And by morning his eyes had glazed over
Then he rolled over and turned on the light
When he rolled back he was different
Then he pulled out the knife shining terror into my life
I was blinded, I was strangled
By my next breath my lover was gone
And you stood in his place for the kiss
The man that you killed is the man that I loved
Murderer! Look what you've left!
Now you are standing inside of his shoes
As if you've forgotten the past
My lips still wanna touch his lips
My hands wanna hold his fingerprints
Is this really what it all seems to be?
I don't want to wash the sheets, I wanna feel him, I wanna smell him
Is this all some crazy dream?
Eventually I'm going to have to come back and clean up all this mess
Pick up all the broken, shattered pieces
Find the broom and sweep up the floor
Dump that water down the drain
Open the windows and let the air circulate
But each time that I enter I suffocate
The man that you killed is the man that I loved
Murderer! Look what you've left!
Now you are standing inside of his shoes
As if you've forgotten the past
The man that you killed is the man that I loved
Murderer! Look what you've left!
Now you are standing inside of his shoes
As if you've forgotten the past
Have you forgotten the past?
Don't take away his breath
Don't remove the indent from my bed
Stop walking around
You might stir up the air
And diffuse his fingerprints from my doorknob
Don't wash the dishes
His lips have been on that glass
And that water has touched his mouth
Don't open the windows
This is all I have left
And I'm not ready to let go just yet
I knew something was wrong that night
I could see it in his eyes
But the lights were too dim to be sure
I knew there was something lurking inside
And by morning his eyes had glazed over
Then he rolled over and turned on the light
When he rolled back he was different
Then he pulled out the knife shining terror into my life
I was blinded, I was strangled
By my next breath my lover was gone
And you stood in his place for the kiss
The man that you killed is the man that I loved
Murderer! Look what you've left!
Now you are standing inside of his shoes
As if you've forgotten the past
My lips still wanna touch his lips
My hands wanna hold his fingerprints
Is this really what it all seems to be?
I don't want to wash the sheets, I wanna feel him, I wanna smell him
Is this all some crazy dream?
Eventually I'm going to have to come back and clean up all this mess
Pick up all the broken, shattered pieces
Find the broom and sweep up the floor
Dump that water down the drain
Open the windows and let the air circulate
But each time that I enter I suffocate
The man that you killed is the man that I loved
Murderer! Look what you've left!
Now you are standing inside of his shoes
As if you've forgotten the past
The man that you killed is the man that I loved
Murderer! Look what you've left!
Now you are standing inside of his shoes
As if you've forgotten the past
Have you forgotten the past?
