When the Reaper Comes

Well my life's been like a bad day that doesn't want to end
Now I'm alone; a lone recluse, with my bottle as my friend
You know I drink sometimes to kill the pain, I'm broken since you left
Can't help but wonder now if you'll even be at my funeral
And I pretend sometimes to hide the pain to leave you with a smile
Because without your smile life just ain't worth living

So when the reaper comes I will go peacefully
Because when I'm done I will die gracefully
And when I'm gone I will be free from me

You know I've lived my life the hard way, every day regrets
But now I've grown, and thanks to you I will die a happy man
You chose to remember all the bad times, forgot about the good
And I can't control the life you chose for living
And I forgive you for deserting me, though I felt betrayed
And I hope you learn to forgive and not feel bitter

So when your reaper comes you can go peacefully
And know before you're done you've lived life graciously
And before you're gone you will be free

So when the reaper comes I will go peacefully
Because when I'm done I will die gracefully
And when I'm gone I will be free from me you'll see
And I know that I'll be done when the reaper comes

So when the reaper comes I will go peacefully
Because when I'm done I will die gracefully
And when I'm gone I will be free from me
When I'm gone I will be free
