[Verse 1]

Never feared f

or anything

Never shamed b

ut never free
             
A life to heal

     
 the broken he

art
            
With all that 

       
it could


Lived the life

 so endlessly

Saw beyond wha

t others see
             
I tried to hea

heart
            
With all that 

  
I could

Will you stay

Will you stay

[Chorus]
            
How do I live 

            
without the on

Plans of what 

our futures ho

Foolish lies o

f growing old
             
It seems we're

     
 so invincible
            
The truth is s

  
o cold


A final song, 

a last request

A perfect chap

ter laid to re

Now and then I

 
 try to find
            
The place in m

Where you can 

stay

You can stay a

wake forever

[Verse 3]

Sleep tight

 (not afraid)
            
The ones that

Lay away
  
A place for me

 (place for me

'Cause as soon

 as I'm done
           
I'll be on my 

way
    
To live eterna
