Dear love, better sit down Bad news, get the word out Accidents come with conclusions I'm numb on the asphalt Don't cry, wasn't your fault I can't feel, it's just confusion Keep on, keep on, keep on
When I'm gone and the lights are out Don't be sad for long (when I'm gone) And the lights are out I'll be shining on I'm just gonna let my life bleed on this letter Let my song sing on forever I'll still love you when I'm gone
Teardrops paint the faces Despair is contagious Dressed in black, clutching a red rose Hold on, hold on, hold on
My love goes on, and the lights are out Don't be sad for long (when I'm gone) And the lights are out, I'll be shining on I'm just gonna let my life bleed on this letter Let my song sing on forever I'll still love you when I'm gone
And the lights are out, don't be sad for long (when I'm gone) and the lights are out I'll be shining on I'm gonna let my life bleed on this letter Let my song sing on forever I'll still love you (when I'm gone)
And the lights are out, don't be sad for long (when I'm gone) and the lights are out I'll be shining on I'm gonna let my life bleed on this letter Let my song sing on forever I'll still love you When I'm gone.
