D C Cm
Along with me
I wish you thought that I was dead
So rather than me you'd be depressed instead
And before arriving at my grave
You'd come to the conclusion
You'd loved me all your days
But it's too late
Too late for you to say
Because I'm faking my own suicide
Because I know you love me
You just haven't realized
Oh, I'm faking my own suicide
They'll hold a double funeral
Because apart of you will die
Along with me
I'll write you a letter that you'll keep
Reminding you your love for me is more than six feet deep
You say aloud that you would have been my wife
Write about that time is when I come back to life
And let you know
I'd let you know all along I was...
All along I was faking my own suicide
Because I know you love me
You just haven't realized
I was faking my own suicide
I'll walk in that room and see your eyes opened so wide
Opened so wide
Because you know
Bm C D
Because you know you will never leave my site
Bm C D
Until the day that I die for the first time
Bm C D
And we'll laugh, yeah we'll laugh And we will cry
Bm C D
So overjoyed at the love that's so alive
G
Our love is so alive
