I died 

So many years ago 

But you can make me feel 

Like it isn't so 

And why you come to be with me 

I think I finally know 

Mmmm 



You're scared 

Ashamed of what you feel 

And you can't tell the ones you love 

You know they couldn't deal 

A whisper in a dead man's ear, 

It doesn't make it real 



That's great - - 

But I don't wanna play 

'Cuz being with you touches me 

More than I can say 

But since I'm only dead to you 

I'm saying stay away 

And let me rest in peace 



Let me rest in peace 

Let me get some sleep 

Let me take my love and bury it 

In a hole six foot deep 

I can lay my body down 

But I can't find my sweet release 

So, let me rest in peace 



You know, you got a willing slave 

And you just love the blatant thought that you might misbehave 

But 'till you do 

I'm tellin' you, 

Stop visiting my grave 

And let me rest in peace 



I know I should go 

But I follow you like a man possessed 

There's a traitor here beneath my breast 

And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed 

If my heart could beat, it would break my chest 

But I can see you're unimpressed 

So, leave me be 



Let me rest in peace 

Let me get some sleep 

Let me take my love and bury it 

In a hole six foot deep 

I can lay my body down 

But I can't find my sweet release 

Let me rest in peace 

Why won't you let me rest in peace?
