When I Die Lyrics

[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 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 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

[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 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
[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 (Just like you, sir) I'm no monster (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 like you ma'am) I'm only human (I'm only human)

[Outro]
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 (Far, oh)
