I Got To Live

What would I say if one day I wake
All of a sudden, I'm there at that gate
The end of my life, no time for goodbyes
And I didn't get to try everything twice
I'd say "why'd it have to be me?
Why'd I have to go like this?
Know we hardly ever speak,
But you could've given me notice"
So thank God, it's all in my head
'Cause I ain't done breathing just yet
I hope I don't go before it's my time
Before I can show what I'll do with my life
My wife would be sad, and keep asking why
My mum would be mad 'cause that's just what she's like
But I hope that someone remembers me well
That my messed up stories are good ones to tell
Don't get to decide, but if I did
I wouldn't die before I got to live
I wanna know what it's like, to see ninety-one candles alight
Surrounded by the people who still love me
Even though I've never looked so ugly
It's the end of my life and that's fine
At least I could say my goodbyes
I hope I don't go before it's my time
Before I can show what I'll do with my life
My wife would be sad, and keep asking why
My mum would be mad 'cause that's just what she's like
But I hope that someone remembers me well
That my messed up stories are good ones to tell
Don't get to decide, but if I did
I wouldn't die before I got to live
Before I got to live
"Why'd it have to be me?
Why'd I have to go like this?
Know we hardly ever speak,
But you could've given me notice"
So thank God, it's all in my head
'Cause I ain't done breathing just yet
I hope I don't go before it's my time
Before I can show what I'll do with my life
My wife would be sad, and keep asking why
My mum would be mad 'cause that's just what she's like
But I hope that someone remembers me well
That my messed up stories are good ones to tell
Don't get to decide, but if I did
I wouldn't die before I got to live
Oh, before I got to live, yeah yeah
Oh oh, before I got to live
I wouldn't die before I got to live
