There's been a death in the fam
ily I should be wearing black
How can I tell them
That I'm never coming back
Maybe someday they'll forgive me
And then they'll finally see
It didn't have a thing to do with
the death of you and me
There's no winners, there's no losers
Just victims and abusers
Each switching sides
To try and even up the score
Swallowing their pride
Keeping all the hurt inside
Till one of them
Just can't take it anymore
If there's been
a death in the family
I should be wearing black
How can I tell my kids
That I'm never coming back
Maybe someday they'll forgive me
And then they'll finally see
They didn't have a thing to do
The death of you and me
So bury
the past
There's a period
morning
and all
of the flowers
Wither up and die away
Our friends shake
their heads they can't believe our love is
dead and there's nothing left for us
to see
there's been a death in the fam
ily I should be wearing black
How can I tell them that I'm
never coming back?
Maybe someday they'll forgive me
And then they'll finally see
That it didn't have a thing to do
With the death of you and me
They didn't have a thing to do with
the deaths of the family
