WHEN I DIE
.

When I die
I don’t want you 
Standin’ over my coffin
Screamin’ an’ hollerin’
Sobbin’ an’ sniffin’
Pretending  
Like you cared.

Please,  
Don’t cry
Keep those tears 
In your eyes

‘cause
You know
And I know

Ain’t none o’ them real.

I remember,
Long ago,
When we began.

Together! 
Committed to the cause! 
All on the same side!

Or so I thought…  
But… 

When we tried to start;
You started your foolishness;

We tried to move;   
You tried to move around me;

We began to do; 
You began to do me in! 
                                        
So
Please 
Don’t cry!

Please! 
Please!
Please!

Don’t cry!

Keep those tears, 
In your eyes;

‘cause 
You know; 
And 
I know;

Ain’t none o’ them real.
