"Shallow Grave" lyrics - THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE

Her voice cuts through the walls
Rings through everything that's hollow
These bitter words recall
All that's left and hard to swallow

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
She was always good for nothing when the good broke bad
All she's got to lose is everything she never has
(Every back turned to her)

[Chorus:]
We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag, everyday
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets at bay, everyday

Her blood runs hot to cold
Always breaking all she borrows
Her favours bought and sold
She lives like she's dead tomorrow

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Just another reason looking for the next "because"
Just another has been wishing that she never was
(Every back turned to her)

[Chorus:]
We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag, everyday
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets at bay, everyday

[Bridge:]
Tomorrow's not a new day, more time to think things through
As patience starts to fall away, a day can feel like two
When we gave her a new face, the past was out of view
She never fooled us because she could never fool herself

[Outro:]
We put her down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like a body bag, everyday
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets at bay, everyday
