I'll turn the lights out
Lock up the house
You do what you're gonna do
You know that I'm through with you
I should just let you die
I shouldn't waste a tear
If you're in so much pain
Then sleep inside that grave
(chorus instrumental)
I'll just leave you be
If that's what you want from me
But you know I still love you
And you know that I pray for you
And babe if you decide
Please come say goodbye
Come see me one last time
Babe, won't you change your mind?
(chorus x4)
The rain put the fire out
I'll turn the lights out
Lock up the house
The rain put the fire out
One less thing to worry about
We're gathered here today
Around his fresh dug grave
Just a preacher to mourn the loss
And me left to carry the weight
An empty bottle and a shotgun shell
Were all you left when you died that day
(chorus x4)
The rain put the fire out
