Even in Death - Can't Swim

The truth escapes your lips

And it hits my ears

I see the image of

Your body laying in the ground

Was I not enough?

Was I just too much?

I see the image of

My body laying next to yours

'Cause I am nothing now you’re gone

Oh as the chorus goes

I’ll write you into song

And as these words repeat

It’s keeping you alive

Can we decide our fate

With no ill intent?

I see the image of

Everyone I know embrace again

Maybe there is no light

In your world of dark

I see the image of

You’re safe and sound I promise

Your body’s free to live in peace

Oh as the chorus goes

I’ll write you into song

And as these words repeat

It’s keeping you alive

Who am I without

The one I write about?

So oh, as the story goes

I’ll see you once again

The jewels that you left on the edge of your bed

I returned them to you like you asked

The rings and the bracelets will never go wasted

You’re beautiful even in death

The truth escapes my lips

And I hope you hear

I see the image of

One day we’ll love again

Oh as the chorus goes

I’ll write you into song

And as these words repeat

It’s keeping you alive

Who am I without

The one I write about?

Oh, as the story goes

I’ll see you again
