Die First

(Intro - Slow, somber piano chords)

(Verse 1)

I don’t want to wake up missing you

And regretting what I ever said

I don’t want to ever lose you

Or have an empty spot in my bed

I’m watching the shadows climb the wall

Tracing the lines of your sleeping face

’Cause I know that tomorrow isn't promised

And I’m terrified of this quiet place

(Chorus)

So I hope I die first

I hope I go before you do (you do)

I can’t imagine a single day

Learning how to live without you

I don’t want to write a song about the day you're gone (noo)

Or pick up the pieces of a broken heart

So I hope I die first (I hope I die First)

(Verse 2)

I don't want to see your clothes lying on the floor

And not have you here beside me

The mug, from drinking tea

you left by the door

Just looks like a haunting memory

I can't imagine cleaning up a room if you were gone

Tracing the outline of where you used to be

It's a selfish thought, I know it's wrong

But I need you to stay here with me

(Chorus)

So I hope I die first

I hope I go before you do (you do)

I can’t imagine a single day

Learning how to live without you

I don’t want to write a song about the day you're gone (noo)

Or pick up the pieces of a broken heart

So I hope I die first

(Bridge)

They say love is stronger than death

But I want to breathe your breath

Until my very last breath is taken

Don't make me walk this world alone

Don't make this house feel less like home

I’d rather be the one who’s taken

(Guitar/Piano Solo - Mournful and slow)

(Chorus)

So I hope I die first

I hope I go before you do

I can’t imagine a single day

Learning how to live without you

I don’t want to write a song about the day you're gone

Or pick up the pieces of a broken heart

So I hope I die first (I hope I die First)

(Outro)

Yeah, I hope I die first...

Don't leave me here...

Please don't leave me here...

(Fade out)
