Will You Remember Me Lyrics
Jann Arden
Lyrics
Will you remember me when I'm gone
Will you remember me at all
I tried to be kind, I tried to be good
Will you remember me
God only knows why we try and fail
Is this heaven on earth or the fires of hell
I tried to be honest, it's hard not to lie
Will you remember me after I die
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
I've got a junkie heart in a cage of bone
I'm a scientific wonder, a sober son
I was born blue-blooded
So I've never made a cent on my own
I don't need to tell you that I'm afraid
'Cause I'll be paying for all the mistakes I've made
I tried to be thoughtful, it's hard not to be blind
Will you remember me after I'm gone
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
