Beautiful in the dress I laid out for you
Let your hair down the way you always used to
The tileâs cold,
The tap is dripping
As I go to rinse my hands of you,
And watch the pieces one by one wash away down the drain
Iâll fake this mourning at your funeral
Dressed in black and trying not to laugh
[Chorus:]
Sleep tight my dear
Thisâll be your last night here
Breathing among the living
Iâve got some plans for you
Sweet dreams my love
Itâll all be over soon
Were just waiting for the poison in your blood
To reach your heart
So cold and pale laid out before me
So weak and frail quiet as can be
Peacefully sleeping for all of eternity
No one will ever suspect me
Fingerprints and DNA wonât give me away
Iâll fake this mourning at your funeral
Dressed in black and trying not to laugh
[Chorus]
I brought your favorite flowers
Your mother said you would have loved them
Iâll read your favorite poem out loud
And Iâll break down,
Iâll break down
You said that I donât feel
Thatâs why you could not live with me
I donât feel the least bit sad right now,
How's that for irony?
Iâll fake this mourning at your funeral
Dressed in black and trying not to laughâ¦
â¦I canât help but laugh
[Chorus]
