lyrics

I’m gonna live forever
Or at least until you die
I guess I’m gonna die

I’m gonna live forever

Although my girl knows the date and time she’s gonna be dead
I said, Baby, please don’t tell me cause I wanna be edged
Yeah she laughed but she also wore this sad little look
She ran her hand through my hair and then went back to her book

And I wished that I understood

The next day you were acting weird
I didn’t wanna guess why
There was an obvious problem
Can’t even say that I tried

As I was walking around
I heard a smoker’s cough
And I immediately regretted the cigarettes that I bought for you
It felt like I killed you

And then I looked for you
And then I asked about you
And then I prayed for you
And then I cried for you

But it hurt
It hurt too bad
So I tried to believe you were never even here

...

She’s the sun, I’m the moon; I only shine through her
My gravity is pulled by the shape of her curves
You never know what you have till the moment it’s gone
And now you’re gone

So now I’m gonna die
Cause I said
I said I would
I like to keep my word

There is no heaven
There is no hell
I’ll never see you again
I’ll never get the chance
To say what I should have said:
“I love you”
Oh God
I love you
