And Then You Die Lyrics

And then the day came
Where all we were talking about
Was her dying
All we were talking about
Was her dying
And if we had the right to ask her
To keep trying to live

Look up keep your eyes on the prize, girl
But don't be surprised when the road goes dim
There'll be days you'll go dancing with your demons
Screamin' they seem just like your friends

Things are things I wish my mother would've told me
All I ever really wanted was her story
You live a bit and then you die

You're not the only one feelin' hunted
I have been run out my skin
But little girl you gotta dream beyond the bloodhounds
I hear ‘em huntin' you down don't let them win

These are things I wish my mother would've told me
All I ever really wanted was a warning
You live a bit and then you die

I don't get sad about it any
I don't get sad about you anymore

You thought you saw a blackbird
You thought you saw a blackbird
A blackbird over there
You turn to find her it's like there was no one there
You turn to find me it's like I was never there
I was a blackbird over there
