For All Those Sleeping - My Funeral

Текст песни

I never asked for your touch
I never asked for anyone
I never wanted to feel
I never want to be loved
Take my hand, but don’t hold too tightly
'Cause it seems that my favor comes and goes nightly
And I hate the silence but I keep fighting
Off everyone till their bed seems inviting
Don’t go trying to change me
Cause it’ll take more than you just to save me
I’m so far gone that there’s no place for me
In anyone’s arms, in anyone’s arms so…
Break it like you mean it 'cause I don’t need it
Now you got me thinking, «is this what I want?»
When I die, they’ll say «no one’s here today»
It’s my funeral, it’s my funeral
Break it like you mean it
Cause I’ve been thinking I don’t really need it
There’s nothing that I want
Give up, so what if I die alone?
It’s my funeral, it’s my funeral
See these hands
They work hard to spite me
They’re artists of their craft
That’s why I’ll never hold your burdens like they carry mine
But I’ve learned to love misery
And that’s why I’ll take the curse with me
Down to the grave
Down to the grave, I’ll take this curse with me​
When we’re below, then you’ll be safe
This is the fall, this is the remedy
(I never asked for, I never wanted)
This is your way out, way out
(I never asked for anyone)
This is the flood, this is my reckoning
(I never asked for, I never needed.)
This is the reason I can’t be loved
(I never wanted)
And I believe, we meet the person we were meant to love when we’re ready for it.
I’m just afraid that some of us never are. So if these are my last words,
then I want it known, that I tried. But there’s a part of me that just won’t
let me be happy. You were enough. I just wasn’t enough for me
