Digging Up Old Graves (Song)

[Intro]
I always dig up old graves
It's something I need to do
In order to learn and grow
Bit crazy of a thing I know

[Verse 1]
You shouldn't be in my mind
Trying to keep me from what could be mine
One year yet still haunting my thoughts
And for you I'm barely an afterthought

[Chorus]
When April 1st was meant to be a day of joy
When April 1st I stopped you from being my boy
Did you sit in your room and cry
Or find another girl to pry.... Open

[Verse 2]
New person in my phone
Not quite the feeling of coming home
It's your fault I view love poorly
You could have been nicer surely

Kind boy manipulating
Sad girl contemplating
It's not gas-lighting it's just the truth
Someone being nice isn't out to get you

[Chorus]
When April 1st was meant to be a day of joy
When April 1st I stopped you from being my boy
Did you you sit in your room and cry
Or find another girl to pry.... Open

[Bridge]
My ghosts follow relentlessly
I ignore them day to say
Until they open up their mouths
And give me something new to say

[Chorus]
When April 1st was meant to be a day of joy
When April 1st I stopped you from being my boy
Did you you sit in your room and cry
Or find another girl to pry.... Open

[Outro]
Give me one more chance
I'm not desperate just trying to forgive
Myself for the debts I've already paid
The graves of my past have long ago been laid
But I'll need to dig them up again
So that something new with you I can begin
