We never really talked much, not even a small chat

And we can never get that time back

This story might get meaning, but no happy ending

So did you struggle to stay sober

Or just wallow in your defeat

You might be buried in the dirt now

But it's the longest you've ever been clean

So as it dawned on you

Now that you're spic and span

All the joy you missed out on

All the pride you must have thought you had

And when you found out that it was over

And you still didn't want to be seen

You might be buried in the dirt now

But you can't hide from me, you can't hide from me

There's a bit of regret that you swept under the rug

One day you left for good without a word and then barely kept in touch

You got some notes from this disease filling the pockets of my jeans/genes

It's just your true colors shining through

And when you found out that it was over

And you still didn't want to be seen

You might be buried in the dirt now

But you can't hide from me, you can't hide from me

Did you struggle to stay sober

Or just wallow in your defeat

You might be buried in the dirt now

But it's the longest you've ever been clean
