lyrics

I took off my funeral shoes
With careful manicured hands
Wiped the lipstick from my mouth
Wiped away my future plans
Walked into a gallery
Rewound my life to the start
Before the world did damage
Before the world
Had broke my heart
If I should die before I wake
Was my whole life a big mistake?
A random path, stumbled along
With every choice turning out wrong
A sad love song
If I should wake what happens then
Get out of bed, do it again?
Throw in my hat and trust to chance
To one more dance
Just one more dance
A sad love song
I took off my funeral shoes
With careful manicured hands
Wiped the lipstick from my mouth
Wiped away my future plans
I put on my bravest face
The brightest one I could stand
Turned the pages of a book
Pretended I understand
Oo oo oo oo oo
Oo oo oo oo
A sad love song
