How to Let You Go

When thinking's just too much And drinking's lost its touch What do I do to bury you? The liar behind your teeth He made a fool of me How did we get from A to Z? Somebody tell me, oh how to let you go The tintype photograph The lazy epitaph The locket where I kept our past Reminders of why I bled A proof of the life we led In burning, each a tiny death Somebody tell me, oh how to let you go Your ghost is rattling bones in the back of my mind Smoking cigarettes with the windows closed And drinking all of my wine Your ghost is shaking his chains inside of my head Just to keep good time And make sure I don't forget Somebody tell me, oh how to let you go Somebody tell me, oh how to let you go
