So When I Die, They Don't Die Too

I was eight When I gave myself Away for the first time Took till 12 To tell my mom Knew it was wrong I just wanted to Belong to someone Didn't break me They just medicated me But these things They don't define me Took a lot of work To find me When they lay me down When they lay My body In the ground Please remember All the things I said to you So when I die They don't die too I was 13 I'd drown myself In Avril Lavigne Said "tomorrow it will change" And "be a better day" Then I was 16 I lost it all In the fall Started drinking Like my mom But these things They don't define me Took a lot of work To find me When they lay me down When they lay My body In the ground Please remember All the things I said to you So when I die They don't die too When I was 21 I had my first girl I fell in love I had another one She broke my heart Turned the sadness to art And now I'm 29 I'm doing fine Every day I'm writing lines My OCD Won't let me be Guess that's just me When they lay me down When they lay My body In the ground Please remember All the things I said to you So when I die They don't die too
