To be so vulnerable and to say you can't To be weak and fragile is no advance To fight that sinking self esteem And that voice from within To the hand on the shoulder you're heavy and cold You only make things go oh so slow The perfect reminder of what is to come Tells don't when you want to go After I'm gone - It's all the same! It will go on - It stays the same! After I'm gone - It's all the same! It will go on Release me darling you're a cell I'm in it and I don't feel well Everything happens for a reason they say So there's no reason to delay Nothing happens when you die Everything goes on without you after a while After I'm gone - It's all the same! It will go on - It stays the same! After I'm gone - It's all the same! It will go on Maybe this is punishment Stay the same or repent Heal them all or heal yourself Leave them all or leave yourself Maybe this is punishment Stay the same or repent Heal them all or heal yourself Leave them all or leave yourself Maybe this is punishment Stay the same or repent Heal them all or heal yourself Leave them all or leave yourself Maybe this is punishment Stay the same or repent Heal them all or heal yourself Leave them all or leave yourself I'll find a way I'll find a way I'll find a way I'll find a waaaay After I'm gone - It's all the same! It will go on - It stays the same! After I'm gone - It's all the same! It will go on
