Matthew Santos Shallow Grave lyrics

You know I wrote it in a letter / but I think that talkin's better / I just wanna' make it ok.

When upon my weakest moments / when my demons laughing in the dark / wish it all would go away.

If I knew then what I know now / I'd know it had to happen how it did, / so that I could learn my lesson.

Mistakes are easy made and hard to take / don't make the same mistake twice / and it'll be just like a blessing.

I know I'm in your debt / now darlin' / you know it's gonna' be repaid.

Said I hope we can forgive and forget / now darlin'/ it's buried in a shallow grave.

This pain, how it reminds me I'm alive / with each decision do or die / raindrops wripple through the waters.


this bitter makes the sweet taste so much better / like the spring after the long and barren / cold, cold winter, yeah.

Chorus

Perfect is the person who accepts / that no one's perfect no exceptions / less the human refrains.

This love is so much bigger than the world / of cynics snickering in smoke / a lighthouse calling out my name.

Chorus x2

And I hope that there is where it's gonna' stay.
