When I Die

[Chorus]
When I die, remember me like this
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'm only bone 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
[Verse 1]
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?
[Pre-Chorus]
There are things, I don't care to explain
But I'll be damned to let you take my name in vein
There are people who don't want to be saved
But I refuse to take this feeling to my grave
[Chorus]
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


[Verse 2]
When my brain and all my fears 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
[Pre-Chorus]
There are things, I don't care to explain
But I'll be damned to let you take my name in vein
There are people who don't want to be saved
But I refuse to take this feeling to my grave
[Chorus]
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)


[Outro]
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
You're not too far
Don't cry too hard
You're not too far
