Buried Under - Nashville Cast, Connie Britton

I wish that I didn’t have to see

A confidant as an enemy

Common lies and the lines you cross

Helplessly I can only watch

Dodging words as they ricochet

Honesty that’ll never pay

Your convictions I believe

Like an apparition haunting me

Now the truth is a ball and chain

Holding my conscience to the flame

It’s covered up but still I know

The secrets of a life your guilty of

A smoking gun is what I found

The dirt I have on you is the ground

Oh, I’m buried under

Trying to tread through sinkin' sand

In your way, you know I can’t stand

What I thought was meant to be

Is a broken heart weighing down on me

Now the truth is a ball and chain

Holding my conscience to the flame

It’s covered up but still I know

The secrets of a life your guilty of

A smoking gun is what I found

The dirt I have on you is the ground

Oh, I’m buried under

Yeah, I’m buried under

Ohhh, I’m buried under

Can you fall for the wings of a dove

When the clever wolf is the one you love?

Now the truth is a ball and chain

Holding my conscience to the flame

It’s covered up but still I know

The secrets of a life your guilty of

A smoking gun is what I found

The dirt I have on you is the ground

Oh, I’m buried under

I wish that I didn’t have to see

A confidant as an enemy
