When I die, remember me like this Cross my heart and hope to die I'm only bones and flesh Just like you, sir I'm no monster I don't think When I die, it won't be long I guess Stick a needle in my eye I bleed just like the rest I'm like you ma'am I'm only human Will it matter when my fingers turn to dust? Will I remember when the worms eat my memory? Will the dawn of every day still meet its dusk? Will I still shudder at the words that you said to me? There are things, I don't care to explain But I refuse to take this feeling to my grave There are people who don't want to be saved But I'll be damned if I let you take my name in vain When I die, remember me like this Cross my heart and hope to die I'm only bones and flesh Just like you, sir I'm no monster I don't think When I die, it won't be long I guess Stick a needle in my eye I bleed just like the rest I'm like you ma'am I'm only human When my brain and all my fears are decomposed Will it bring a sense of peace I won't recognize? I've collected all the stones that you've thrown Built a castle out of sins from another life There are things, I don't care to explain But I refuse to take this feeling to my grave There are people who don't want to be saved But I'll be damned if I let you take my name in vain When I die, remember me like this Cross my heart and hope to die I'm only bones and flesh Just like you, sir (Just like you, sir) I'm no monster (I'm no monster) I don't think When I die, it won't be long I guess Stick a needle in my eye I bleed just like the rest I'm like you ma'am (I'm like you ma'am) I'm only human (I'm only human) More or less When I die, will you wear your Sunday's best? Will a tear come to your eye, when I take my final breath? Don't cry too hard (Don't cry too hard) You're not too far (You're not too far) Don't cry too hard You're not too far (Far, oh)
