[Verse 1]
So it goes
A well-trodden road
Gone are the young before they're old
Echoing
The world they're in
Where flying looks a lot like falling
[Pre-Chorus]
I just stand there watchin'
You'd think I'd learn by now
[Chorus]
No, not another funeral
Too young to fill another hole
And on your body, flowers fall
And they're lovely
But I wish somebody could explain
Where my friend has gone
Old enough to still be young
While the hands wrapped around your throat
Were your own
No, not another funeral
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh
[Verse 2]
And as you know
A minor note
I've let my head slip beneath the water
What a way to live
What a state we're in
Where it's a mistake to show emotion
[Pre-Chorus]
I just stand there watchin'
You'd think I'd learn by now
[Chorus]
No, not another funeral
Too young to fill another hole
And on your body, flowers fall
And they're lovely
But I wish somebody could explain
Where my friend has gone
Old enough to still be young
While the hands wrapped around your throat
Were your own
No, not another funeral
[Bridge]
No, not another funeral
No, not another funeral
No, not another funeral
No, not another funeral
No, not another funeral
No, not another funeral
[Pre-Chorus]
I just stand there watchin'
You'd think I'd learn by now
[Chorus]
No, not another funeral
Too young to fill another hole
And on your body, flowers fall
And they're lovely
But I wish I hadn't let you go
