Learning How To Die

[Verse 1]
If I wrote my life down
Would you read it back to me?
Would I hurt the same way
As I did in memory?

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me all about the moon that pulled our strings
Tell me all about the sun that stained our skin

[Chorus]
I won’t have a final word
When I lay down my head
Cause I’ve learned the hardest way
To say the things I meant
I did the best with what I had
Without a reason why
But in the end I know I’ve lived a life
That taught me how to die

[Verse 2]
If I lived forever
Would it change what I believe?
Does the fear of dying young
Cause us all to be deceived ?

[Pre-Chorus]
Would I still need convincing of the things
I can’t perceive?
Is it our naivety to put faith
In what we can’t see?

[Chorus]
I won’t have a final word
When I lay down my head
Cause I’ve learned the hardest way
To say the things I meant
I did the best with what I had
Without a reason why
But in the end I know I’ve lived a life
That taught me how to die

[Bridge]
We don’t know how far we are from heaven
But we’re ninety million miles from the sun
We don’t know how close to God we’ve come
But we’re face to face with everyone we love

[Chorus]
I won’t have a final word
When I lay down my head
Cause I’ve learned the hardest way
To question where I’m led
I did the best with what I had
Without a reason why
But in the end I know I’ve lived a life
That taught me how to die
