Lyrics
WHILE I DIE
THERE WAS TIME WHEN I WAS A CHILD I WOULD LAY AWAKE AT NIGHT
STARING AT THE DARKNESS AND THE SHADOWS SO UNKIND
MY MOTHER HEARD ME CRY SHE'D WIPE AWAY THE TEARS LEAVE ON THE NIGHT
NOW I'M A MAN I STILL LAY AWAKE AT NIGHT AND WONDER WHO I AM
THINKIN' BOUT THE HEARTACHE AND THE PAIN YOU LEFT INSIDE
THOSE SHADOWS STILL UNKIND BUT THERE IS NO ONE THERE TO HEAR ME CRY
CHORUS
CAN YOU COME BACK FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED
CAN YOU TWIST THE KNIFE THROUGH THIS BROKEN HEART
AND HATE ME WITH YOUR SOUL KILL ME SLOWLY WITH YOUR LIES
CAN YOU LEAVE THE LIGHT ON WHILE I DIE
EACH NIGHT I PRAY IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE THE LORD MY SOUL TO TAKE
SOMETIMES I FALL ASLEEP THEN WAKE UP SOAKIN WET
FROM THE POISON THAT I SWEAT
FEELS LIKE THE DEVIL GOT MY SOUL INSTEAD/ CHORUS/LEAD SAME AS VERSE
MY BREATH IS COLD MY HEART IS POUNDING THOUGH IT'S BEATING KINDA SLOW
COME TO MY BEDSIDE PUT YOUR DAGGER IN MY SIDE CRUCIFY MY PRIDE
HOLD MY HAND AND KISS OUR DREAMS GOODNIGHT/CHORUS
