Graveyard Tan
Do you like my graveyard tan?
 'Cause that's where I've been,
 Everyday visiting the place
 Where you now lay.
 The decisions you made
 Are all but in the past.
 They linger overhead
 Like a dark storm cloud.
 
 We all look back
 remembering the good.
 But we all know
 I was the one who
 Took it the hardest.
 No one saw your pain.
 No one heard your fears.
 No one knew you
 Like I did.
 
 Do you like my graveyard tan?
 'Cause that's where I've been,
 Everyday visiting the place
 Where you now lay.
 The decisions you made
 Are all but in the past.
 They linger overhead
 Like a dark storm cloud.
 
 No one knew why it happened.
 No one could explain
 The reasons why.
 No one knew you
 Like I did.
 They were all there.
 They could have seen,
 But they didn't.
 So now they all mourn.
 They're all sorry.
 
 Do you like my graveyard tan?
 'Cause that's where I've been,
 Everyday visiting the place
 Where you now lay.
 The decisions you made
 Are all but in the past.
 They linger overhead
 Like a dark storm cloud.
 
 My graveyard tan
 Is what people see now.
 Not the happy smile
 That I used to wear.
 They don't hear
 The healthy laugh
 I used to have.
 All that is left...
 Is my graveyard tan.
