Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Turn away if you could get me a drink

Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded

Call my aunt Marie, help her gather all my things

And bury me in all my favorite colors

My sisters and my brothers, still, I will not kiss you

'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you

[Verse 2]

(My sisters and my brothers, still)

I will not kiss you (Turn away)

Lips are chapped and faded, call my (Turn away)

Lips are chapped and faded (Faded)

Kiss you (Kiss you) (Turn away)

Lips are chapped and faded, call my (Turn away)

Lips are chapped and faded (Faded)

[Verse 3]

Turn away 'cause I'm awful just to see

And all my hairs abandoned all my body

All my agony know that I will never marry

Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo

I'm counting down the days to go, this just ain't livin'

And I just hope you know

[Verse 4]

I will not kiss you (Turn away)

Lips are chapped and faded, call my (Turn away)

Lips are chapped and faded (Faded)

Kiss you (Turn away)

Lips are chapped and faded, call my (Turn away)

Lips are chapped and faded (Faded)

[Verse 5]

If you say (If you say)

Goodbye today (Goodbye today)

I'll ask you to be true (I'll ask you to be true)

'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you

Yes, the hardest part of this...

[Verse 6]

I will not kiss you (Kiss you, kiss you, kiss you)

Lips are chapped and faded, call my (Call my, call my, call my, call my)

Lips are chapped and faded (Faded)

Kiss you (Kiss you, kiss you, kiss you)

Lips are chapped and faded, call my (Call my, call my, call my, call my)

Lips are chapped and faded (Faded)
