I died   Too many years ago   You can make me feel   Like it isn't so      Why you come to be with me   I think I finally know   You're scared, ashamed of what you feel   You can't tell the ones you love   You know they couldn't deal   Whisper in a dead man's ear   Doesn't make it real      That's great, but I don't wanna play   Being with you touches me more than I can say   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 6 foot deep      I lay my body down   But I can't find my sweet release   Let me rest in peace   You know you got a willing slave   And you just love to play the thought   That you might misbehave      But till you do, I'm telling 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 6 foot deep   I 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?
