Bury Me
Burke Alexandra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Six feet under is where I'll be
Six feet under is where I'll be
Six feet under is where I'll be
Love bury me

Is there a doctor in the house?
Someone check my pulse
Cause it feels like I'm not breathing
And I can't believe it
Wherever I am there he goes
Says he's only joking but I know
That he really means it
Never mind keep it

You gotta give up to get up
And leave when you're fed up
Even though you're what I need
I can't let love bury me
So give up and get out
And leave when you're fed up
Even though you're what I need
I can't let love bury me

Six feet under is where I'll be
Six feet under is where I'll be
Six feet under is where I'll be
Love bury me

Says I'm the one he treasures
But you threw the key in the river
Now how you gonna find it
Oh go fishing is my name
Now move out my way
I got dishes to break
Cause he says he's already eaten
Tell me where you and her are meeting

You gotta give up to get up
And leave when you're fed up
Even though you're what I need
I can't let love bury me
So give up and get out
And leave when you're fed up
Even though you're what I need
I can't let love bury me

You need to think about this moment
Before you eat around this donut
You ain't got time for me
I'm on to another recipe
See you need to think about this moment
I know that you have chosen
To take a break from me
Now I know that's exactly what I need

You gotta give up to get up
And leave when you're fed up
Even though you're what I need
I can't let love bury me
So give up and get out
And leave when you're fed up
Even though you're what I need
I can't let love bury me

Six feet under is where I'll be
Six feet under is where I'll be




Six feet under is where I'll be
Love bury me
