(Verse 1) Wake me up… When you’re at my funeral, I Don’t want to miss your fake crying I want to see if it’s good as my Smiles every time you walked by. (Pre-Chorus) Did you practice in the mirror? Rehearse the tears, make them clearer? I bet you’ll say you cared, But I was never really there... (Chorus) So let the black dress flow, Let the roses hit the stone, Lie to my grave, whisper my name, Like you ever felt the pain. Let the choir sing so sweet, Like you weren’t the one to leave. Tell them all I was just too weak, But I was stronger than you’d ever be. (Verse 2) Wake me up… When they read my eulogy, I want to see the words you’ll speak, Will they be dressed in honesty, Or wrapped in silk hypocrisy? (Pre-Chorus) Did you choke up on the ending? Or was your guilt just condescending? They say the dead can’t hear, But darling, I’m still here... (Chorus) So let the black dress flow, Let the roses hit the stone, Lie to my grave, whisper my name, Like you ever felt the pain. Let the choir sing so sweet, Like you weren’t the one to leave. Tell them all I was just too weak, But I was stronger than you’d ever be. (Bridge - soft, eerie build-up to explosion) Oh, now you stand in the rain, Mourning the ghost of your shame, But I know the truth, yeah, I know the truth, You only grieve when there’s someone to prove. (Final Chorus - full power, emotional peak) So let the black dress flow, Let the roses hit the stone, Lie to my grave, whisper my name, Like you ever felt the pain. Let the choir sing so sweet, Like you weren’t the one to leave. Tell them all I was just too weak, But I was stronger than you’d ever be. (Outro - whispered, fading away) Wake me up… When you’re at my funeral…
