Gravestone

[Verse 1]

I try to be cool and I try to be brave

And I try not to send myself to the grave

Before I've seen it through

Wake up and decide, keep my eyes on the prize

And I won’t even feel that my back's on your knife

Until I've seen it through

[Pre-Chorus]

Spending all my time, oh pretending that I’m, oh

Pulling out my heart

But I could spend ages putting nonsense on pages

And pass it off as art

[Chorus]

I hope I work it out and I hope it ain't for nothing

And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin

Of my gravestone, gravestone

One that has your name on, name on

I hope I work it out and I hope it ain't for nothing

And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin

Of my gravestone, gravestone

One that has your name on, name on

[Verse 2]

Try not to reach all the heights or to breach all the terms and conditions

Of the life that we seek, life's a bitch, life's a beach

And I'm drowning in the sea

I’m trying to stay cool and fight in the oncoming whitey

I don’t smoke anymore, but I'm pretending that I do

So you think I’m cool

[Pre-Chorus]

Spending all my time, oh pretending that I'm, oh

Pulling out my heart

But I could spend ages putting nonsense on pages

And pass it off as art

[Chorus]

I hope I work it out and I hope it ain't for nothing

And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin

Of my gravestone, gravestone

One that has your name on, name on

I hope I work it out and I hope it ain’t for nothing

And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin

Of my gravestone, gravestone

One that has your name on, name on

[Bridge]

I don't mind whatever my fate is

As long as I can reincarnate and

I'd live a thousand lives and I'd die a thousand times

Just to get one more chance at another by your side

Oh, I don't mind whatever my fate is

As long as I can reincarnate and

I'd live a thousand lives and I'd die a thousand times

Just to get one more chance at another by your side

Oh, I don't mind whatever my fate is

As long as I can reincarnate and

I'd live a thousand lives and I'd die a thousand times

Just to get one more chance, to get one more chance, oh

[Chorus]

I hope I work it out and I hope it ain't for nothing

And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin

Of my gravestone, gravestone

One that has your name on, name on

I hope I work it out and I hope it ain't for nothing

And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin

Of my gravestone, gravestone

One that has your name on, name on
