When I Die Lyrics
[Chorus]
When I die, remember me like this
Cross my heart and hope to die, I'm only bones and flesh
Just like you, sir, I'm no monster
I don't think when I die, it won't be long I guess
Stick a needle in my eye, I bleed just like the rest
I'm like you ma'am, I'm only human
[Verse 1]
Will it matter when my fingers turn to dust?
Will I remember when the worms eat my memory?
Will the dawn of every day still meet its dusk?
Will I still shudder at the words that you said to me?
[Pre-Chorus]
There are things, I don't care to explain
But I refuse to take this feeling to my grave
There are people who don't want to be saved
But I'll be damned if I let you take my name in vain
[Chorus]
When I die, remember me like this
Cross my heart and hope to die, I'm only bones and flesh
Just like you, sir, I'm no monster
I don't think when I die, it won't be long I guess
Stick a needle in my eye, I bleed just like the rest
I'm like you ma'am, I'm only human
[Verse 2]
When my brain and all my fears are decomposed
Will it bring a sense of peace I won't recognize?
I've collected all the stones that you've thrown
Built a castle out of sins from another life
[Pre-Chorus]
There are things, I don't care to explain
But I refuse to take this feeling to my grave
There are people who don't want to be saved
But I'll be damned if I let you take my name in vain
[Chorus]
When I die, remember me like this
Cross my heart and hope to die, I'm only bones and flesh
Just like you, sir (Just like you, sir) I'm no monster (I'm no monster)
I don't think when I die, it won't be long I guess
Stick a needle in my eye, I bleed just like the rest
I'm like you ma'am (I'm like you ma'am) I'm only human (I'm only human)
[Outro]
More or less, when I die, will you wear your Sunday’s best?
Will a tear come to your eye, when I take my final breath?
Don’t cry too hard (Don't cry too hard)
You’re not too far (You're not too far)
Don’t cry too hard
You’re not too far (Far, oh)

What have the artists said about the song?
Gabbie Hanna:
[“When I Die” was] written in male key, like it’s really fucking cool but it’s like it’s the first time I felt like 100% authentic on a track because I was just doing what was natural, and not overthinking it, and what was not overthinking it was I need a “punk rock track,” and then a...
