Liz Longley - Funeral For My Past lyrics

Uhh, hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah
Uhh, hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah

I held a funeral for my past today
Laid it in the ground where it's
Meant to stay
With the roots,  the dirt, pain and the hurt
I held a funeral for my past today

I got down on my knees
 dug up a mighty grave
Made room for all the darkness, the anger
And the shame so deep it never haunts me
Gone forever and always
I held a funeral for my past today

Uhh, hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah
Uhh, hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah

Well, I've been cutting roses
Never thought this day would come
Me and my shadow, we were living as one
Every day I tried to fight it
My demons always won 'Til I stopped fighting
'Til I let the light in

Oh, and I could not help but tremble
I could not help but cry
There was something holy about it
Just watching it die
Right there, as I stood, right before my eyes
Up from the ashes
Up from the ashes, my phoenix did rise

Uhh, hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah
Uhh, hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah

So come, gather round
What will you lay to rest?
Whatever kills you slowly
Don't give it one more breath
Let it go, let it be
Let it rest here in peace
Lay it down at the funeral
For your past today
