I died 
So many years ago 
But you can make me feel
Like it isn't so 
And why [bad word] to be with me 
I think I finally know 
mmm-mmm 

You're scared 
Ashamed of what you feel 
And you can't tell the ones you love 
You know they couldn't deal 
Whisper in a dead man's ear 
It doesn't make it real 
That's great

But I don't wanna play 
'Cause being with you touches me 
More than I can say 
And since I m only dead to you 
I m saying stay away and 
Let me rest in peace 

Let me rest in peace 
Let me get some sleep 
Let me take my love and bury it 
In a hole 6-foot deep 
I can lay my body down 
But I can't find my, sweet release 
So let me rest in peace 

You know, 
You got a willing slave 
And You just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave 
But Till you do,
I'm telling you 
Stop visiting my grave 
Let me rest in peace 

I know I should go 
But I follow you like a man possessed 
There's a traitor here beneath my breast 
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed 
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest 
but I can see you're unimpressed 
So leave me be and

Let me rest in peace 
Let me get some sleep 
Let me take my love and bury it 
Im a hole 6-foot deep 
I can lay my body down 
But I can't find my sweet release 
Let me rest in peace 
Why won't you 
Let me rest in peace?
