Death Trophy

Congratulations, you've been buried today Far under the earth you can hear them say Goodbye; it's like you wanted me to find you this way My mind says to leave but my heart says stay Wait for the rain...to numb the pain Couldn't you see what you meant to me? Couldn't you just hold on? Leaving me here with your death trophy And a never-ending song Couldn't you see what you meant to us? Why couldn't you take the pain? I carve your name on your death trophy Waiting for the rain... My condolences, your baby is gone He shot himself dead at the break of dawn I wonder if he ever thought it was wrong I set the pictures on the lyrics of this song and Wait for the rain...to numb the pain Couldn't you see what you meant to me? Couldn't you just hold on? Leaving me here with your death trophy And a never-ending song Couldn't you see what you meant to us? Why couldn't you take the pain? I carve your name on your death trophy Waiting for the rain... Wait for the rain...to numb the pain Wait for the rain...wait for the rain... Wait for the rain

great rendition made so plain, of the bitter hurt n pain, flows its spirit free, recurring constantly, the bitter aftertaste, gets me... thank you Laura Breidenthal "Death Trophy" Don
