[Verse 1]
Again, the burden of losing
Rests upon my shoulders
And the weight seems unbearable
"Your tomb is where your heart is"
I should've told her
But within me hid a secret so terrible

[Pre-Chorus]
To cry is to know that you're alive
And my river of tears has run dry
I never denied your truth
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And I'm in love with you

[Chorus]
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile

[Verse 2]
I dug a grave so deep for my heart
So much colder
Than I ever thought was possible
"Your home is where your dark is"
I should've told her
And embraced the fire indestructible
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, to cry is to know that you're alive
And my river of tears has run dry
I never denied your truth
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And I'm in love with you

[Chorus]
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Oh, to cry is to know that you're alive, yeah
And my river of tears has run dry
I never denied your truth
A cold heart is a dead heart
And I'm in love with you
A cold heart is a dead heart
And I feel like I've been buried alive by you
[Chorus]
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
And if I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile

[Outro]
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
Oh...
