Buried by Jessica Taylor Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm sorry I always forget to answer my phone
I'm sorry I left you alone
I thought we had grown
But when I see your name I just groan
It's beyond repair
It's beyond what's fair
It's beyond what you gave me, 'cause it's not all there
Must've dropped it somewhere
Must've lost it along the line
[Pre-Chorus]
We've been buried in the dirt
Let's plant some flowers, make it work
But they always drown again
I should've known
We've been severed, split and cut
Grab a bandage, patch it up
Good as new, until we're ripped and left alone
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't think that I've got it in me
And I hate to break the bliss
You were great, so sweet, so patient with me
But it can't make up for this
[Verse 2]
All the glittering generalities
Throw away my morality
If I just pretend
If I just convince myself
Seeing you has become a chore
Please don't blame me if I want more
I would stay if I could love you well
[Pre-Chorus]
We've been buried in the dirt
Let's plant some flowers, make it work
But they always drown again
I should've known
We've been severed, split and cut
Grab a bandage, patch it up
Good as new, until we're ripped and left alone
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't think that I've got it in me
And I hate to break the bliss
You were great, so sweet, so patient with me
But it can't make up for this
Oh, I don't think that I've got it in me
And I hate to do you wrong
If I'm honest, we don't fit like I need
We've been buried all along
[Bridge] (x2)
Buried all along
We've been buried all along
Buried all along
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't think that I've got it in me
And I hate to break the bliss
You were great, so sweet, so patient with me
But it can't make up for this
Oh, I don't think that I've got it in me
And I hate to do you wrong
If I'm honest, we don't fit like I need
We've been buried all along
I'm sorry I always forget to answer my phone
I'm sorry I left you alone
I thought we had grown
But when I see your name I just groan
It's beyond repair
It's beyond what's fair
It's beyond what you gave me, 'cause it's not all there
Must've dropped it somewhere
Must've lost it along the line
[Pre-Chorus]
We've been buried in the dirt
Let's plant some flowers, make it work
But they always drown again
I should've known
We've been severed, split and cut
Grab a bandage, patch it up
Good as new, until we're ripped and left alone
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't think that I've got it in me
And I hate to break the bliss
You were great, so sweet, so patient with me
But it can't make up for this
[Verse 2]
All the glittering generalities
Throw away my morality
If I just pretend
If I just convince myself
Seeing you has become a chore
Please don't blame me if I want more

Oh, I don't think that I've got it in me
And I hate to do you wrong
If I'm honest, we don't fit like I need
We've been buried all along
[Bridge] (x2)
Buried all along
We've been buried all along
Buried all along
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't think that I've got it in me

You were great, so sweet, so patient with me
But it can't make up for this
Oh, I don't think that I've got it in me
And I hate to do you wrong
If I'm honest, we don't fit like I need
We've been buried all along
