If I Never Wake Again

(gunshot)
(siren passing)

(Chorus:)
There must be something I could say,
and if I never wake again.
Remember me just as I'm breathing before you,
the same as all along.

I'll hold you from sorrow,
it's better this way and
if I die tomorrow,
what of me follows you forever?
Unforgiven sins;
and all the lies beneath my skin,
and all these things I never told you.

(Chorus)

Here I am, in color
no luster, glamor or gold.
I hope you remember me dressed
in shadows, black and white.
To flatter the faulted soul.
You never witnessed me unfold.
All these things I never told you.

(Chorus)

(Chorus)(slowly)
