If I?m to die before I reach you
Please know I?m meant to love you till I did
If I?m to slip beneath a train meant to take me
Know that I believe that it was worth it
Tell my friends goodbye
Tell my almost ex-wife
That I loved her and left her too soon
Oh I hope to be holding you soon
Who knows what happens if I leave my room
Oh I?m scared that you?ll know what to do
If I?m to die before you
Verse
If i?m to die before I hold you
Know my arms were the worst off for it
If i?m set upon dragged
From my room as I write
You won't be my last
Thought before I quit
Give my family love
I would watch from above
But I fear there is nothing but sleep
Oh I hope to be seeing you soon
Don?t know what's out there
More fear I assume
Oh i?m scared that you?ll know what to do
If i?m to die before you
Verse
And if i?m to die before we spend a soft day
Know my final thoughts will be of regret
If i'm to drown in the deep sea that parts us
I once lived and loved, don?t forget
Give my paintings to Alice
Tell all my good friends
That I didn?t dare earn their respect
Oh I hope to be seeing you soon
I don?t know what happens if I leave my room
Oh I?m scared that you?ll know what to do
If I'm to die before you, if I'm to die before you
