[Verse 1]
I left my name on the door
In case you looked for me
A coat on the chair, still warm
Like a ghost in the seam
You wore my goodbye like gold
I wore my fear like steel
If I fell out of this world
Would you even kneel?
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me true
Would you break?
Would you call my name
When the earth starts to shake?
Tell me now
Before I go
If I turn to dust
Would you even know?
[Chorus]
Would you mourn me?
Would you mourn me?
Black ribbon on your sleeve
Would you mourn me?
Would you mourn me?
If I died, would you grieve?
(mourn me) (mourn me)
[Verse 2]
I kept your letter in ash
Inside a silver tin
Your words were a blade in silk
And they cut right in
I never asked for forever
Just a hand in the dark
Now I’m counting cracks in the floor
Like they’re beats of my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me true
Would you stay?
Or would you let my name
Wash away?
Tell me now
Before I fade
If the grave was mine
Would your tears be made?
[Chorus]
Would you mourn me?
Would you mourn me?
Black ribbon on your sleeve
Would you mourn me?
Would you mourn me?
If I died, would you grieve?
(mourn me) (mourn me)
[Bridge]
If the last train takes my breath
If the cold takes my hand
Would you wear the bruise of me
Like a mark you understand?
Or would spring come fast
And your heart move on?
I’m afraid of the silence
After I’m gone
[Final Chorus]
Would you mourn me?
Would you mourn me?
Black ribbon on your sleeve
Would you mourn me?
Would you mourn me?
If I died, would you grieve?
(mourn me) (mourn me)
Would you mourn me?
Would you mourn me?
Don’t let me vanish clean
Would you mourn me?
Would you mourn me?
Say you’d remember me
