Stay Dead Lyrics

I was at your funeral
I was standing in the back
you said "I don't really love you,"
so I am never coming back

I want you to stay dead
I want you to stay out of my life
this haunting hurts hard
I want you to stay buried deep.
this memory is reaching with fingers long and cold
I would go through this again
and I will kill you to save my life

I want you to stay dead
I want you to stay out of my life
this haunting hurts hard
I want you to stay buried deep

stay in the cemetary
I will set your tomb on fire
your grave's not deep enough
well my heart is a rusty shovel

I want you to stay dead
I want you to stay out of my life
this haunting hurts hard
I want you to stay buried deep
I want you to stay buried deep

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

just having a tremendous anger toward someone and not caring what the fuck happens to them, just wishing them the worst and not wanting anything to do with them!.........sounds cruel, but it happens and sometimes the feeling can not be dismissed.
