Lyrics

I’m dy ing,

dy ing to wake up with out you,

with out you in my head a gain.

I’m dy ing,

dy ing to for get a bout you,

that you the ev er lived.

There’s it’s a shade come (C#m)o ver this heart that’s (A)cop ing with lay ing (C#m)down to rest.

I’m dy ing

to live with (Asus)out you a gain.

I’m dy ing,

dy ing to find a dis trac tion,

with get you in a way from me.

I’m dy ing,

dy ing to reach a con clu sion

so that the world er can see it’s the same old (C#m)sto ry of love and (A)glo ry that

broke be (C#m)fore it bent.

I’m dy ing

to live with (Asus)out you a gain.

I’m dy

And the first time you left,

I said good bye;

and now there’s not a prayer

that can sur vive.

(E)Dy ing,

dy ing to die just to come back,

so we can meet a gain.

Dy ing,

dy ing to say what I al ways,

al ways should have said.

It’s a strange e (C#m)mo tion, this, but there’s still (A)hope in this as long as (C#m)there’s a breath.

I’m dy ing, and (A)I can’t live with (Asus)out you a gain.

It’s a strange e (C#m)mo tion, this, but there’s still (A)hope in this as long as (C#m)there’s a breath.

I’m dy ing, and (A)I can’t live with (Asus)out you...

I’m dy ing, and (A)I can’t live with (Asus)out you a gain.
