Lyrics
UP TO ME
With my last breath past my lips
With no touch left in my fingertips
With no vision remaining in my eyes
I?ll have no need to further cling to life
Take my memories for what they mean to you
Take my sweet home, take my walking shoes
Take my clothes and burn them if you like
I?ll have no need for things I had in life
And I know that at that door
I will know like I?ve never known before
That I won?t need these eyes to see
That I had one life, and it was up to me
You can work hard, find a way to help
You can wander, write letters to yourself
Some will cut you, and some will take your side
And so it goes until the hour you die
Chorus
