Paper Hearts

When you die
Will you be satisfied?
Will you hold yourself in pride
That you led a happy life

I knew what I had to do
That I hadn't done yet
And to tell you the truth
I should never have left
I had all I could have asked for
Nothing more
Absurd how the world on my shoulders
Told me to rid myself of something I should have kept

When your light goes out
Will you remember how it felt right here and now?
When your light goes out
Will you finally understand the love that we've been talking about?

When you die
Will you be satisfied?
Will you hold yourself in pride
That you led a happy life

When you die
Will you be satisfied?
And you hold yourself in pride
That you led a happy life

I knew what I had to choose
And had I not been a wreck
My words would have touched you
And like a mirror reflect
All the messages I aimed for
Rest assured
That if the air in my lungs never fell off my tongue
I'd be much more hesitant to witness this last sunset

When your light goes out
Will you remember how it felt right here and now?
When your light goes out
Will you finally understand the love that we've been talking about?

When you die
Will you be satisfied?
Will you hold yourself in pride
That you led a happy life

When you die
Will you be satisfied?
And you hold yourself in pride
That you led a happy life

Now I'll never know how I reached you
Did my message complete you?
Did you close your eyes and then open your mind to the rest
Now I'll never know what I could teach you
Or if your love could teach me too
In my final thoughts I hope you get a lot from my death

When your light goes out
When your light goes out
When your light goes out
When your light goes out

When you die
Will you be satisfied?
Will you hold yourself in pride
That you led a happy life

When you die
Will you be satisfied?
And you hold yourself in pride
That you led a happy life
