I got the letter you left under my door

It knocked me on my ass to the floor

Never knew two words could take such a bite

It said, "Dear Jon, hello, goodbye"



I saw your car parked outside Motel Cascade

Saw two shadows go to town on the shade

I can't believe my own lyin' eyes, oh my

It better be your girlfriend I saw goin' down some other guy



You told me you loved me, 'til death do us part

So tell me there's a tombstone where there used to be a heart



You said you couldn't live without me so why aren't you dead?

Instead of six feet under you're in someone else's bed

There's just one thing that I can't get through my head

You said you couldn't live without me so why aren't you dead?



I cut your face out of our old photographs

And all the junk you left behind's in the trash

Well, I thought you were a goner for sure

Well, there's been a resurrection, yeah, a miracle cure



Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

If you can't trust the livin' baby who can you trust?



You said you couldn't live without me so why aren't you dead?

Instead of six feet under you're in someone else's bed

Just one thing that I can't get through my head

You said you couldn't live without me so why aren't you dead?



Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

If you can't trust the livin', baby who can you trust?



Couldn't live without me so why aren't you dead?

Instead of six feet under you're in someone else's bed

There's just one thing that I can't get through my head

You said you couldn't live without me baby, so why aren't you dead?



You said you couldn't live with out me, what a surprise

Instead of layin' you out I'm layin' down on the line

You spend my hard-earned money, you left me in the red

You said you couldn't live without me so why aren't you dead?

So why aren't you dead? Why aren't you dead?
