Lyrics For All Those Sleeping

For All Those Sleeping

My Funeral

I never asked for your touch

I never asked for anyone

I never wanted to feel

I never want to be loved

Take my hand, but don't hold too tightly

'Cause it seems that my favor comes and goes nightly

And I hate the silence but I keep fighting off everyone till their bed seems inviting

Don't go trying to change me, 'cause it'll take more than you just to save me

I'm so far gone that there's no place for me

In anyone's arms

In anyone's arms so...

Break it like you mean it,'cause I don't need it

Now you got me thinking, is this what I want

When I die, they'll say "no one's here today"

It's my funeral

it's my funeral

Break it like you mean it,'cause I've been thinking I don't really need it

There's nothing that I want

Give up

So what if I die alone

It's my funeral

It's my funeral

See these hands

They work hard to spite me

They're artists of their craft

That's why I'll never hold your burdens like they carry mine

But I've learned to love misery

And that's why I'll take the curse with me

Down to the grave

Down to the grave, I'll take this curse with me​

When we're below, then you'll be safe

I never asked for your touch

I never asked for anyone

I never wanted to feel

I never want to be loved

This is the fall

This is the remedy (I never asked for. I never wanted)

This is your way out

Way out (I never asked for anyone)

This is the flood

This is my reckoning (I never asked for. I never needed.)

This is the reason I can't be loved (I never wanted)

Break it like you mean it, 'cause I don't need it

Now you got me thinking, is this what I want

When I die, they'll say "no one's here today"

It's my funeral

it's my funeral

Break it like you mean it, 'cause I've been thinking I don't really need it

There's nothing that I want

Give up

So what if I die alone

It's my funeral

It's my funeral

(And I believe, we meet the person we were meant to love when we're ready for it

I'm just afraid that some of us never are

So if these are my last words, then I want it known, that I tried

But there's a part of me that just won't let me be happy

You were enough

I just wasn't enough for me)
