Till We Earned A Holiday Lyrics - The Anniversary

You're standing off the white church and you're pitching me three words 

It yells a name falling off of - off my list of names 

Those crashing lights, life is just like that - it's easy to forget 

We make plans, and for the second I hit cold as the dirt black night grows close 

Who has been painting my roses red? 

I have nothing to show for you 

I have nothing to show for you 

I never wanted to play the fool for you 

The dead come out - The beautiful ones are chosen 

To dance and shout - Terrified and holding 

Onto the one and only thing they ever had 

A heart that's not dead but is dying in their hands 

Why don't you - you never get tan? 

You try and try but you just don't 

Your crying eyes they start to bleed 

How come I can't get no... 

Why don't you - you never get tan? 

You try and try but you just don't 

Your crying eyes they start to bleed 

How come I can't get no sleep? 

Your smile grew thin as your family talked 

Arrived singing just a holiday song 

That didn't stop until you drank too much 

How come I'm so out of... 

I have nothing to show for you 

I have nothing to show for you 

I never wanted to play the fool for you
