Sing This At My Wake
We are so far away from home
And I am the static on a broken payphone
And as the flickered street lights try in vain
To light the way
I'll stray from them
Taking my life into my hands
This is the coldest that I have ever been
And every tired heartbeat
Pulls and strains
To find the strength
To fill my veins tonight
So if I die in my sleep
Don't light a candle for me
For every heart that I broke
For every lie that I spoke
If I don't make it to the sunrise
Was I good enough in your eyes
Did I do everything I could
To lead the life that I should
Now as the years leave their mark on my face
They take a piece of my soul I can never replace
And I hope that you know
How I loved you to death
See you when we're laid to rest for good
So if I die in my sleep
Don't light a candle for me
For every heart that I broke
For every lie that I spoke
If I don't make it to the sunrise
Was I good enough in your eyes
Did I do everything I could
To lead the life that I should
Only get one chance to make it
Only get one chance to do this right
Only get one chance to make it
Did I do everything I could to fly
(We're on a rocket now in the darkest night) We only get one chance to make it
(I will be lying awake nursing swollen eyes) We only get once chance to live this life
(Thinking how I could change I could sacrifice) We only get one chance to make it
(To make it alright, alright again) Did I do everything I could to fly
(We're on a rocket now in the darkest night) We got one chance to make it
(I will be lying awake nursing swollen eyes) We only get once chance to live this life
(Thinking how I could change I could sacrifice) We only get one chance to make it
(To make it alright, alright again) Did I do everything I could to fly
For every heart that I broke
For every lie that I spoke
(We only get one, two the same) If I don't make it to the sunrise
(We only get one in this place) Was I good enough in your eyes
(We only get one) Did I do everything I could
To lead the life that I should
