Can't Swim – Even In Death lyrics

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
