Verse
The machine stops
Beating steadily
And I watch
As the line stays straight all the time.

They dress me up
Make me look pretty
If I could
I'd be crying right now

Chorus
They close up my casket
Lay me in the ground
All I know is I'm watching
Would you have been
There for me
If I had told you
To stay.

Verse
The light hasn't come
The fire is nonexistent
What did I do wrong

Chorus
They close up my casket
Lay me in the ground

Verse
What if if I had said
That I truly love you to death
The sad thing is that my words ring true
Lalala
Lalala
Ooh ooh ooh
Yeah yeah

Chorus
They close up my casket
Lay me in the ground
All I know is I'm watching
Would you have been
There for me
If I had told you
To stay.
