Buffy Musical Episode – Rest In Peace lyrics

I died
So many long ago
You can make me feel
Like it isn't so
Why you come to be with me
I think I finally know

Mmm-hmmm

You're scared
Ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
A 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 six 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 'til you do
I'm telling you
Stop visiting my grave
And let me rest in peace

I know I should go
But I follow you
Like a man posessed
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
In a hole six 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?
