I saw the signs, how could I be so blind? Your laughter used to shine just like a little child You'd been so strong, so good for so long You thought you'd even out the balance of your life You're dying, you're dying And we all will raise a glass when you're gone, you're gone And the flag will fly half mast as we march on You left a girl, innocent, pure like a pearl, askin' herself why She wasn't enough to stop you givin' up that stuff Her whole world came crashin' from the skies She's crying, she's crying And we all will raise a glass when you're gone, you're gone And the flag will fly half mast as we march on Poppin' pills until you fade, hope to God your bills are paid Try not exaggerate, any fool can make mistakes You'll turn it into Frankenstein every time you lose your mind Sunday morning comin' down, it's Sunday mornin' if it comes around And we all will raise a glass when you're gone, you're gone (As we march on) And the flag will fly half mast as we march on (As we march on) Is this what it's like there? No stress, no fear You float like a tissue over clouds of despair I can't imagine what it's like to be there I can't imagine why you don't want to be here Poppin' pills until you fade (We'll raise a glass) Hope to God your bills are paid (When you're gone) Try not exaggerate, any fool can make mistakes (As we march on) You'll turn it into Frankenstein (We'll raise a glass) Every time you lose your mind (When you're gone) Sunday morning comin' down, it's Sunday mornin' if it comes around (As we march on) Well raise a glass when you're gone, you're gone (As we march on) And the flag will fly half mast As we march on (When you're gone) As we march on we'll raise a glass when you're gone As we march on we'll raise a glass when you're gone As we march on And we all will raise a glass when you're gone, you're gone And the flag will fly half mast as we march on As we march on
