Eulogy Lyrics

Time heals all wounds

So I know you won't miss me too much

In a year or two

Even a week or two

In the end I wasn't someone easy to love

How do you describe a corpse with a beating heart?

Eyes still blinking

Arms still apart

No need for a coffin just yet

But already people are starting to forget

Write me a eulogy

So I can see what I meant to you

Write me a eulogy

Before you bury me

So I can see the good

The good, the good, the good

Sorry if I sound too vain

I just need something to show me that it wasn't in my head

That I lived a life of worth

That there was reason for my birth

Or was it all an illusion?

Who knows life from death, really?

So after you write it I hope you still say my name with conviction

In fact, I hope you still say my name at all

There's no need for songs or rhymes

Just please think of me from time to time

Write me a eulogy

So I can see what I meant to you

Write me a eulogy

Before you bury me

So I can see the good

The good, the good, the good

Don't blame me

Don't curse me

If only I could tell you just how hard I fought

The demons

Each season

Playing tricks on me and playing with my heart

Distorted

Each morning

The truth hadn't ever been so vague

So tell me

Write it down for me

Write me a eulogy

So I can see what I meant to you

Write me a eulogy

Before you bury me

So I can see the good

The good, the good, the good
