Too Soon

Buried your ghost in the attic
Didn't seem to like it
I did what I had to do
And I'm doing better than expected
I don't expect you're asking
Doesn't sound like you
But I don't blame you
For what you did
Just trying to hold
Your secrets in, you said

You're looking to
Do what's best
For you
I'm looking out from my bed
Watching the snow fall on the shed
If I don't ever see you again
It would be too soon
Christmas shopping
Buying boxes
To pack your things in

This year can't end
Soon enough
Happy hanukkah and so on
Dodging phone calls
From your mom
And you
Don't miss me
All that much
Everyone knows what you said
I guess that I still have some friends

You're looking to do what's best for you
I'm looking out from my bed
Watching snow fall on the shed
If I don't ever see you again
It would be too soon
Buried my body in the garden
I bet you found it shocking
The day I sprouted up
You keep digging
Up the dead

You're running
Out of acreage
And hiding spots
I'm looking out from my bed
Watching the snow fall
And fall and fall again
While you tell me
It's in my head
There's no one I'm fighting with
Then you push the knife back in

I don't want to be your friend
I don't want to be your friend
Maybe it's too soon
