[Verse 1]
When this freedom stains my coat
With the winter in my throat
When I'm lost, I dig the dirt
When I fall, I drive the hearse

[Chorus]
And silence is another way
Of saying what I wanna say
And lying is another way
Of hoping it will go away
And you were always my mistake

[Verse 2]
Given time, I fix the roof
Given cash, I speak the truth

[Chorus]
And silence is another way
Of saying what I wanna say
And lying is another way
Of hoping it will go away
And you were always my mistake

[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
When I'm down, I drive the hearse

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
When this boredom wears me out
Then the sky begins to cloud
Sleeping with my ball and chain
When she cries I take the blame

[Pre-Chorus]
And pride is just another way
Of trying to live with my mistakes
Denial is a better way
Of getting through another day

[Chorus]
And silence is another way
Of saying what I wanna say
And lying is another way
Of hoping it will go away
And you were always my mistake

[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
When I'm down, I drive the hearse
(La-la-la, la-la-la)
(La, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la)

[Instrumental Outro]
