[Intro — distant guitar, bass and dark synth pad] [Verse 1] Don't bring me flowers when I'm gone Don't save the words you never said Don't stand beneath a veil of black And love the memory instead I'm standing right in front of you Still breathing underneath these lights So if there's something left to give Don't save it for another night [Pre-Chorus] Hold me like you're losing me Even while I'm here Say the things you'd whisper If tomorrow disappeared [Chorus] Love me like a funeral Like this is our last goodbye Hold me like you'll never get Another night beside mine Love me like a funeral No pride and nothing left to hide Don't wait until I'm gone to show me How it feels to be alive [Post-Chorus] Love me now Love me like a funeral [Verse 2] Don't wear your sorrow after me Like something beautiful and black Don't tell the world I was your everything When you could never tell me that I don't need candles in the rain Or roses dying by my name I only need your hands tonight Before we're photographs in frames [Pre-Chorus] Hold me like you're losing me Even while I'm here Give me everything you'd give If morning disappeared [Chorus] Love me like a funeral Like this is our last goodbye Hold me like you'll never get Another night beside mine Love me like a funeral No pride and nothing left to hide Don't wait until I'm gone to show me How it feels to be alive [Short Instrumental — melodic bass and sweeping guitar] [Bridge — intimate] Someday one of us Will leave the other here Someday all these words Will be the ones we wish we'd said So don't love me someday Love me now [Final Chorus — powerful, emotional] Love me like a funeral Like this is our last goodbye Hold me like you'll never get Another night beside mine Love me like a funeral No pride and nothing left to hide Don't wait until I'm gone to show me How it feels to be alive [Outro — stripped down] No flowers No goodbye Just love me While I'm alive [Short guitar fade]
