Oh the difference, between life and death. It's a smile to a frown, It's the whole world let you down. They say I was crying at birth, Guess I'm still the saddest boy on earth. Oh the difference, between life and death. Simple hello and 'oh god I didn't know,' Bad things happen to folks like you, Guess I always noticed your attitude. Oh the difference, between life and death. It's a fallen pistol shell while I'm holding your head still. Never seen your eyes quite like that. Guess I always thought that you'd come back. Oh the difference, between life and death. Digging a grave and filling her in. Guess I never thought she'd go so soon. I'll drink it over every afternoon. Oh the difference, between life and death. It's holding you close and remembering how you felt. Don't know when I'll get over you, Guess when I find my own grave too.
