I Want to Bury You by The Verve Pipe Lyrics

Love of a lifetime, though I hardly knew you
I feel you right down to the bone
You left love behind, but I think that you'll find
That I'm better than being alone

When we were innocent children
Back when the fever ran through
Nonsense spoken, until fevers were broken
Then I was the boy you out grew

And I should have buried you
Buried you off in the deep
And I should have buried you
Body and soul to keep, for my treasure

I know your darkness, and we share a secret
I'll happily take to my grave
While other who fumbled
With buttons in backseats
The sweat of your love being brave
We were just innocent children
The urges defy common sense

Come back to me love
Because I'm worthy of
And I haven't been the same since

And I should have buried you
Buried you off in the deep
And I should have buried you
Body and soul to keep, for my treasure

And I want to bury you
Bury you off in the deep
And I should have buried you
Body and soul to keep

And I want to bury you
Body and soul to keep
And say good-bye
Because I'm going to bury you
Body and soul to keep, for my treasure
