Why Aren't You Dead?

[Verse 1]

I got the letter you left under my door

It knocked me on my ass to the floor

Never knew two words could take such a bite

It said, "Dear Jon, hello, goodbye"

[Verse 2]

I saw your car parked outside Motel Cascade

Saw two shadows go to town on the shade

I can't believe my own lyin' eyes, oh my

It better be your girlfriend I saw goin' down some other guy

[Pre-Chorus]

You told me you loved me, 'til death do us part

So tell me there's a tombstone where there used to be a heart

[Chorus]

You said you couldn't live without me, so why aren't you dead?

Instead of six feet under, you're in someone else's bed

There's just one thing that I can't get through my head

You said you couldn't live without me, so why aren't you dead?

[Verse 3]

I cut your face out of our old photographs

And all the junk you left behind's in the trash

Well, I thought you were a goner for sure

Well, there's been a resurrection, yeah, a miracle cure

[Pre-Chorus]

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

If you can't trust the livin', baby, who can you trust?

[Chorus]

You said you couldn't live without me, so why aren't you dead?

Instead of six feet under, you're in someone else's bed,

There's just one thing that I can't get through my head

You said you couldn't live without me, so why aren't you dead?

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

If you can't trust the livin', baby, who can you trust?

[Chorus]

Couldn't live without me, so why aren't you dead?

Instead of six feet under, you're in someone else's bed

There's just one thing that I can't get through my head

You said you couldn't live without me, baby, so why aren't you dead?

You said you couldn't live without me, what a surprise

Instead of laying you out, I'm layin' down on the line

You spend my hard-earned money, you left me in the red

You said you couldn't live without me

[Outro]

So why aren't you dead?

So why aren't you dead?

Why aren't you dead?
