So When I Die, They Don't Die Too
I was eight
When I gave myself
Away for the first time
Took till 12
To tell my mom
Knew it was wrong
I just wanted to
Belong to someone
Didn't break me
They just medicated me
But these things
They don't define me
Took a lot of work
To find me
When they lay me down
When they lay
My body
In the ground
Please remember
All the things
I said to you
So when I die
They don't die too
I was 13
I'd drown myself
In Avril Lavigne
Said "tomorrow it will change"
And "be a better day"
Then I was 16
I lost it all
In the fall
Started drinking
Like my mom
But these things
They don't define me
Took a lot of work
To find me
When they lay me down
When they lay
My body
In the ground
Please remember
All the things
I said to you
So when I die
They don't die too
When I was 21
I had my first girl
I fell in love
I had another one
She broke my heart
Turned the sadness to art
And now I'm 29
I'm doing fine
Every day I'm writing lines
My OCD
Won't let me be
Guess that's just me
When they lay me down
When they lay
My body
In the ground
Please remember
All the things
I said to you
So when I die
They don't die too
When I gave myself
Away for the first time
Took till 12
To tell my mom
Knew it was wrong
I just wanted to
Belong to someone
Didn't break me
They just medicated me
But these things
They don't define me
Took a lot of work
To find me
When they lay me down
When they lay
My body
In the ground
Please remember
All the things
I said to you
So when I die
They don't die too
I was 13
I'd drown myself
In Avril Lavigne
Said "tomorrow it will change"
And "be a better day"
Then I was 16
I lost it all
In the fall
Started drinking
Like my mom
But these things
They don't define me
Took a lot of work
To find me
When they lay me down
When they lay
My body
In the ground
Please remember
All the things
I said to you
So when I die
They don't die too
When I was 21
I had my first girl

When they lay

In the ground
Please remember
All the things
I said to you
So when I die
They don't die too
