if i m to die

Keaton Henson

If I m to die before I reach you
Please know I meant to love you till I did
If I m to slip beneath a train meant to take me
Know that I believe that it was worth it
Tell my friends goodbye
Tell my almost ex-wife
That I loved her and left her too soon

Oh, I hope to be holding you soon
Who knows what happens if I leave my room
Oh I m scared that you ll know what to do
If I m to die before you

If I m to die before I hold you
Know my arms were the worst off for it
If I m set upon dried
From my room as I write
You won t be my last thought before I quit
Give my family love
I would watch from above
But I fear there is nothing but sleep

Oh, I hope to be seeing you soon
Don t know what s out there
More fear, I assume
Oh, I m scared that you ll know what to do
If I m to die before you

And if I m to die before we spend a soft day
Know my final thoughts will be of regret
If I m to drown in the deep sea that parts us
I once lived and loved, don t forget
Give my paintings to Alice
Tell all my good friends
That I didn t dare earn their respect

Oh, I hope to be seeing you soon
I don t know what happens if I leave my room
Oh, I m scared that you ll know what to do
If I m to die before you
If I m to die before you
