Die First

(Intro - Slow, somber piano chords)

(Verse 1)
I don’t want to wake up missing you
And regretting what I ever said
I don’t want to ever lose you
Or have an empty spot in my bed
I’m watching the shadows climb the wall
Tracing the lines of your sleeping face
’Cause I know that tomorrow isn't promised
And I’m terrified of this quiet place

(Chorus)
So I hope I die first
I hope I go before you do (you do)
I can’t imagine a single day
Learning how to live without you
I don’t want to write a song about the day you're gone (noo)
Or pick up the pieces of a broken heart
So I hope I die first (I hope I die First)

(Verse 2)
I don't want to see your clothes lying on the floor
And not have you here beside me
The mug, from drinking tea
you left by the door
Just looks like a haunting memory
I can't imagine cleaning up a room if you were gone
Tracing the outline of where you used to be
It's a selfish thought, I know it's wrong
But I need you to stay here with me

(Chorus)
So I hope I die first
I hope I go before you do (you do)
I can’t imagine a single day
Learning how to live without you
I don’t want to write a song about the day you're gone (noo)
Or pick up the pieces of a broken heart
So I hope I die first

(Bridge)
They say love is stronger than death
But I want to breathe your breath
Until my very last breath is taken
Don't make me walk this world alone
Don't make this house feel less like home
I’d rather be the one who’s taken
(Guitar/Piano Solo - Mournful and slow)

(Chorus)
So I hope I die first
I hope I go before you do
I can’t imagine a single day
Learning how to live without you
I don’t want to write a song about the day you're gone
Or pick up the pieces of a broken heart
So I hope I die first (I hope I die First)

(Outro)
Yeah, I hope I die first...
Don't leave me here...
Please don't leave me here...
