  • I moved the mattress to the middle of the floor
    I can't sleep a wink where love was made before
    Took a hammer to the frame as it broke down, I did the same
    All the memories, all the blame, in the middle of the room and in my way

    [Chorus]
    I curse the bed
    Pour on some gasoline
    I curse the bed
    Throw a match on all our dreams
    Burn it to the ground, where you laid me down
    I could curse the moon, curse your love, curse your name
    But instead I curse the bed

    I took a shower, put on a long white dress
    Danced for hours, around the flames, around the mess
    Poured some champagne, made a toast, said goodbye to all my ghosts
    But all that metal, all that steel, are like your words that I still feel

    [Chorus]

    I curse the bed
    Burn it to the ground, where you laid me down
    I could curse the moon, curse your love, curse your name
    But instead I curse the bed
    I curse the bed Writer/s: ANDREW DORFF, LAURA BELL BUNDY, NATHAN CHAPMAN
