see what you get for just being good
staying where you're told and doing what you should
well, they found you that night and they shot you dead
now you're lying in the road with a bullet in your head
see how everything has changed
and i think of the way that you looked on the day
that they shoveled her up and they took her away
and now how i wish i could be that brave
you were burlap and gold and you laughed at the grave
see how everything has changed
well, there's nothing i've seen was like seeing you there
your own blood in your mouth and the stars in your hair
and i still haven't lost what you gave that night
and it fills up my eyes with some holy light
and i see now - everything has changed
