[Verse 1]
Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans, denied
[Pre-Chorus]
So, as you read this, know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Smile when you think of me
My body's gone, that's all
[Chorus]
À tout le monde, à tous mes amis
Je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free
[Verse 2]
If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say
Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living all are scarred
[Chorus]
À tout le monde, à tous mes amis
Je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
So, as you read, know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile, smile when you think about me
My body's gone, that's all
[Chorus]
À tout le monde, à tous mes amis
Je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free
À tout le monde, à tous mes amis
Je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free
[Instrumental Outro]
