I'd like to see
The tears
you're crying
When they carry
My body
Away.
I'd like to know
You should
Have loved me
When you could have
Had
Your say.
I want lots of
Arms
to comfort
And help you
Get through
The grief.
I'd like to see
The tears
You're crying
When you could
Have said
Your peace.
Tell me that you'll miss me then.
I won't hear, but you'll say it then.
Tell me that we won't ever end.
I'll never know, but you'll say it then.
I'd like to see
The tears
You're crying
When you
Are feeling
Your pain.
Make
It all
about you
When it all
Comes back
Again.
When
The choir
Is singing
It won't be
Because
I'm gone
I'd like to see
The tears
Your crying
And know
You know
You were wrong.
Tell me that you'll miss me then.
I won't hear, but you'll say it then.
Tell me that we won't ever end.
I'll never know, but you'll say it then.
Can you tell me how
You love me now?
Can you let the secret out of Pandora's box?
I want your friends
To be
around
I want
You to
have fun
But first
The truth
Will eat you
For what
You've left
undone.
Some
Might say
It's better
That you
Are spared
Some pain.
I
Had lived
Not knowing
If I
Was loving
You in vain.
Tell me that you'll miss me then.
I won't hear, but you'll say it then.
Tell me that we won't ever end.
I'll never know, but you'll say it then.
Love takes courage. A lot of people just can't seem to express how they feel until it's too late. This song is not about death. It's about never having lived. (No, it is not auto-biographical)
