I’m giving up on sleeping
‘Cause I just can’t stop dreaming
Of your face every single night
And I’m giving up on thinking
‘Cause I just can’t stop blinking
All I see is your haunting sight

And I hope somehow you understand
That I never meant you no harm
But I’ll never forget your glassy eyes
And that needle in your arm
Now instead of wedding bells
We’ll hear a funeral a funeral dirge
And I’ll join you babe, one of these days
If I could just work up the nerve

I’m picking up on drinking
And I bet you that I’m sinking
Of the death that’s on my hands
And it’s fate that I’ve been cheating
But I’m getting an inkling
That it knows just where I stand

And I hope somehow you understand
That I never meant you no harm
But I’ll never forget your glassy eyes
And that needle in your arm
Now instead of wedding bells
We’ll hear a funeral a funeral dirge
And I’ll join you babe, one of these days
If I could just work up the nerve

And I’m the one to blame
For leading you straight to hell
And I’ll join you someday
Only time will tell
You ask for a glass of water
But I drowned you in the well
Instead of stopping to pick you up
I just watched as you fell

I’m giving up on speaking
‘Cause I just can’t reason
With my guilt anymore
And I’ve coupled my drinking
With these pills that I’ve been eating
Soon enough I’ll be at death’s door

And I hope somehow you understand
That I never meant you no harm
But I’ll never forget your glassy eyes
And that needle in your arm
Now instead of wedding bells
We’ll hear a funeral a funeral dirge
And I’ll join you babe, one of these days
If I could just work up the nerve
