The Bongo Song Lyrics

The light sneaks in from under the door
I don't know where I am
But I've been here before
I found a message on the table
And it's signed by you
It says "I'm sorry for your loss
There's not much I can do"

And when they ask how long it's been this way
Say not that long, just a couple of days
But you and I know, that that's not true
I've been living this way since the day I met you

And I could see myself
Never fully recovering
And I could see myself
Turning blue
And I could see myself
Never fully recovering
And I could see myself
Dying for you

(Dying for you, dying for you, dying for you)

If I don't leave now, then I'll be late
But if I show up on time, you'll call me fake
And don't give me shit, I put my money in
I thought that I'd be late
Where the fuck have you been?

And what we had did not last long
But the memories flood back
When I sing this song
I want back everything I ever gave
And when they ask where I am, say
"Diggin' his grave"

And I could see myself
Never fully recovering
And I could see myself
Turning blue
And I could see myself
Never fully recovering
And I could see myself
Dying for you
I could see myself dying for
I could see myself dying for you (ooh)
Dying for you
