Intro

Doesn't matter how my moments were defined
Doesn’t matter how I fought to stay alive
Doesn't matter what I had to sacrifice
If it was hard to see for you

Verse 1

And all my dreams, and all my fears
And all my friends, and all my tears
And all the years I spent sincere
You'll read the eulogy

Pre-Chorus

And you’ll tell them just how effortless I lived then
And you'll fill in all the gaps where you were missing
And you'll mourn me in your story
Just like you mourned me to my face
And then you'll tеll them that I miss you
And you won't even say my namе

Chorus

When I die, they will bury me a woman
While I lie still and restless
Breaking silent in my casket
Let me rest inside your peace, in your memory
Perfectly positioned how you wanted me
'Cause once you bury me 

Interlude

    
    

Verse 2

They will ignore all I was
'Cause they never listened
They will betray every wish
'Cause I couldn’t say them
When they search my clothes for outfits
They’ll just go buy a dress instead
Because there's no time left to meet me
They’ll mourn the person in their head

Bridge

When I die, they will bury me a woman
While I cry, mad and helpless
Wishing miracles would listen
No one needs to know what you'll leave below
Who will I end up? Will I ever know?
'Cause once you bury me, you can forget me

Chorus

When I die, they will bury me a woman
While I lie still and restless
Breaking silent in my casket
Let me rest inside your peace, in your memory
Perfectly positioned how you wanted me
'Cause once you bury me, I’ll be complete
Eternally a resting stranger

Breakdown

I'll die a vague recollection
I'll die awkward conversation
I'll die what you can't remember
I'll die as a resting stranger
I'll die, all my things in trash bags
I'll die with an urn of dyed ash
I'll die, hundred unfinished plans
I'll die anything but a man
I'll lie where the council says so
I'll lie several miles from home
I'll lie under dirt overgrown
I'll lie with a name I don't know
I'll sit beside a corpse I've never seen before
And I'll mourn how I'm dead inside your dreams
And I'll be dead to all I was
