Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everything I ever knew
I passed it onto you
The good and the bad
I hope you don't resent
Anything I represent
In your life
[Verse 2]
I am learning to abide
By the rules that now apply
It's not easy
I can see where I went wrong
I am trying to be strong
Please, forgive me
[PreChorus]
Things are never what we imagine them to be
Are they?
But they are always working out for you and me
Aren't they?
[Chorus]
Burry me here
Burry me here
I leave everything to you
I leave everything to you
I leave everything to you
I leave everything to you
[Verse 3]
I wish I'd kept an open mind
Instead of letting my emotions
Blind me
Uncertainty is my new friend
The only one I comprehend
Come find me
[Verse 4]
In this place, this in-between
Not the real world, not a dream
A place of waiting
I am just beyond the veil
I'm a ship without a sail
Already fading
[PreChorus]
Things are never what you imagine them to be
Are they?
But they are always working out for you and me
Aren't they?
[Chorus]
Remember me, mmm
Remember me, mmm
I leave everything to you
I leave everything to you
I leave everything to you
I leave everything to you
I leave everything
[Outro]
Everything I ever knew
Will be forgotten in a few
More moments
I'll be starting from the start
With the same ache in my heart
When this all ends
[Outro]
Things are never what you imagine them to be
Are they?
But they are always working out for you and me
Aren't they?
