I've got flowers, but
There ain't no grave
You're still walking
'round like nothin's changed
I've stopped breathing, but
I'm still feeling the pain
Everywhere I go
I hear your name
Wanna get out, wanna get off
Of this street, out of this place
You're still breathing
But you're not feeling the pain
Put out the fire
Can't kill the flame
I... I... I
I know I'm free but
Still my hands are tied
Behind my back
Beside the Mississippi flood
This love won't give up
No, it don't run dry
Why-y-y
It's gone, it's gone
But it ain't dead and gone
It's gone, it's gone
But it ain't dead and gone
I'm not twisted, bitter, I'm not mad
I just wish you would get off my map
I've been hidin' but you keep findin' my tracks
Why do you keep on comin' back?
I... I... I
I know I'm free but
Still my hands are tied
Behind my back
Beside the Mississippi flood
This love won't give up
No, it don't run dry
Why-y-y
It's gone, it's gone
But it ain't dead and gone
It's gone, it's gone
But it ain't dead and gone
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I... I.... I
I know I'm free but
Still my hands are tied
Behind my back
It's like a Mississippi flood
This love won't give up
No, it don't run dry
Why-y-y
It's gone, it's gone
But it ain't dead and gone
It's gone, it's gone
But it ain't dead and gone
