Lyrics
Six feet down in the cold, wet dirt
Nobody cries, nobody hurts
I am looking down from the grey, dark sky
Watching the people say goodbye
Why is nobody crying for me
Why is everyone longing to leave
My heart stopped beating, my body is cold
Just another story that has been told
Is this all that's left of my name
A cheap wood box in the freezing rain
They check their watches, they look away
They have nothing real left to say
A couple of words, a hurried prayer
I'm finally gone, and nobody cares
I thought I mattered
I thought they'd weep
But they just want to go to sleep
The dirt falls down
The lights go out
No one hears my silent shout
Why is nobody crying for me
Why is everyone longing to leave
My heart stopped beating, my body is cold
Just another story that has been told
Is this all that's left of my name
A cheap wood box in the freezing rain
The cars drive off
The grass is bare
The truth is heavy
Nobody cares
