Dermot Kennedy Funeral Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We were staring down disaster
That night, we almost called it quits
You said that you were changing chapters
I said this can't be where it ends
Not even poetry can fix this
Right now, we both need more than words
If we give up, we're gonna miss this
Can we remember who we were

[Pre-Chorus]
Standing on St. Brigid's Road
Where we finally let it go

[Chorus]
We held a funeral for heartache
We buried trouble in the grass
Wе didn't bother buying roses
'Cause wе ain't ever going back
I don't know nothing 'bout tomorrow
I barely know about today
We set a fire to our sorrow
And watched the hurt go up in flames

[Verse 2]
Grief is such a solid promise
Joy just leaves you in the rain
Sadness waits down in the lobby
Solace stood you up again
I'm thankful for the darkness
Everything that let me see
So much beauty in the storm
Like how you turn to me
If I'm honest, you're the reason That the light gets in at all
You're the song that breaks the silence
You're the smile at curtain call
I'm scared of who I'd be without you
Much more than you know
If I seem strong, it's just a show

[Pre-Chorus]
Standing on St. Brigid's Road
Where we finally let it go

[Chorus]
We held a funeral for heartache
We buried trouble in the grass
We didn't bother buying roses
'Cause we ain't ever going back
I don't know nothing 'bout tomorrow
I barely know about today
We set a fire to our sorrow
And watched the hurt go up in flames

[Bridge]
Oh, no-no
We ain't never going back
Oh, no-no
We ain't never going back

[Chorus]
We held a funeral for heartache
We buried trouble in the grass
We didn't bother buying roses
'Cause we ain't ever going back
I don't know nothing 'bout tomorrow
I barely know about today
We set a fire to our sorrow
And watched the hurt go up in flames
