Why Would I Want to Die?

[Verse 1]

You didn't really die, you only went away

My drummer he saw you buying supplies about a week ago

A couple towns away south on the interstate

I gave him shit for not telling me sooner than he did

He said he thought I knew

He said everybody else has seen her too

I haven't been around that much

Or kept in touch with anyone or anything

[Verse 2]

You didn't really die

Although it seems as if you did

Why would you have to hide?

And who stayed on with you while you hid?

Through all those silent nights

That silence sure can be real loud

Louder than anything

[Verse 3]

You didn't really die

So what am I do do with the memories of ours

I chronicled and buried in the backyard?

Dig them up today

Attach a note that say they're yours

Leave 'em at the door of the supply store

And hope that when you come along

You bring yourself to reading them

And wonder from precisely that there moment on

[Refrain]

Why would I want to die? (Why would I want to die?)

Why would I want to die? (Why would I want to die?)

Why would I want to die?
