Rest In Peace lyrics
Songwriters: Whedon, Joss Hill;

I died so many years ago
You can make me feel like it isn t so
Why you come to be with me
I think I finally know

You re scared, ashamed of what you feel
And you can t tell the ones you love
You know they couldn t deal
Whisper in a dead man s ear
It doesn t make it real, that s great

Well, I don t wanna play
Cause being with you touches me
More than I can say
And since I m only dead to you
I m saying stay away
And let me rest in peace

Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can t find my sweet release
So let me rest in peace

You know you got a willing slave
And you just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave
But till you do I m telling you
Stop visiting my grave
And let me rest in peace

I know I should go but I follow you like a man possessed
There s a traitor here beneath my breast
And it hurts me more than you ve ever guessed
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest
But I can see you re unimpressed
So leave me be

And let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can t find my sweet release
Let me rest in peace

Why won t you
Let me rest in peace?
