When I Die Lyrics

When I die, remember me like this

Cross my heart and hope to die

I'm only bones and flesh

Just like you, sir, I'm no monster

I don't think

When I die, it won't be long I guess

Stick a needle in my eye, I bleed just like the rest

I'm like you ma'am, I'm only human

Will it matter when my fingers turn to dust

Will I remember when the worms eat my memory

Will the dawn of every day still meet its dusk

Will I still shudder at the words that you said to me

There are things I don't care to explain

But I refuse to take this feeling to my grave

There are people who don't want to be saved

But I'll be damned if I let you take my name in vain

When I die, remember me like this

Cross my heart and hope to die, I'm only bones and flesh

Just like you, sir, I'm no monster

I don't think

When I die, it won't be long I guess

Stick a needle in my eye, I bleed just like the rest

I'm like you ma'am, I'm only human

When my brain and all my fears are decomposed

Will it bring a sense of peace I won't recognize

I've collected all the stones that you've thrown

Built a castle out of sins from another life

There are things I don't care to explain

But I refuse to take this feeling to my grave

There are people who don't want to be saved

But I'll be damned if I let you take my name in vain

When I die, remember me like this

Cross my heart and hope to die

I'm only bones and flesh

Just like you, sir, I'm no monster

I don't think

When I die, it won't be long I guess

Stick a needle in my eye, I bleed just like the rest

I'm like you ma'am, I'm only human

More or less

When I die, will you wear your Sunday's best

Will a tear come to your eye when I take my final breath

Don't cry too hard (don't cry too hard)

You're not too far (you're not too far)

Don't cry too hard

You're not too far (oh)
