Why Aren't You Dead? Lyrics - Bon Jovi



1 I got the letter you left under my door

2 Knocked me on my ass to the floor

3 Never knew two words could take such a bite

4 It said, "Dear Jon, Hello. Goodbye."

5 I saw your car parked outside Motel Cascade

6 Saw two shadows go to town on the shade

7 I can't believe my own lyin' eyes, oh my

8 It better be your girlfriend I saw going down some other guy

9 You told me you loved me, 'til death do us part

10 So tell me there's a tombstone where there used to be a heart


11 You said you couldn't live without me

12 So why aren't you dead?

13 Instead of six feet under you're in someone else's bed

14 There's just one thing that I can't get through my head

15 You said you couldn't live without me so why aren't you dead?


16 I cut your face out of our old photographs

17 And all the junk you left behind's in the trash

18 Well, I hoped you were a goner for sure

19 Well, there's been a resurrection, yeah, a miracle cure

20 Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

21 If you can't trust the livin' baby who can you trust?


22 You said you couldn't live without me

23 So why aren't you dead?

24 Instead of six feet under you're in someone else's bed

25 There's just one thing that I can't get through my head

26 You said you couldn't live without me so why aren't you dead?


27 Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

28 If you can't trust the livin' baby who can you trust?


29 You said you couldn't live without me

30 So why aren't you dead?

31 Instead of six feet under you're in someone else's bed

32 There's just one thing that I can't get through my head

33 You said you couldn't live without me baby, so why aren't you dead?


34 You said you couldn't live without me, what a surprise!

35 Instead of laying you out I'm laying down on the line

36 You spend my hard-earned money, you left me in the red

37 You said you couldn't live without me...

38 So why aren't you dead?

39 Why aren't you dead?
