Woods of Ypres
Kiss My Ashes (Goodbye)
[Verse 1]
To mourn the end is to say goodbye
Not to yearn for that which we will never have again
We cry for our life together because we know it will end
And we try to understand how we could ever love again

[Chorus]
Whoa-oh, save your tears
At the end of our time
We've cried enough in our lives
Just kiss my ashes goodbye
Kiss my ashes goodbye
When I die
Just kiss my ashes goodbye
(Goodbye, goodbye)
(Goodbye, goodbye)

[Post-Chorus]
Kiss my ashes goodbye
Kiss my ashes goodbye
Kiss my ashes goodbye
Kiss my ashes goodbye

[Verse 2]
We miss them so much now that they are gone
Took them for granted for living so long
We read their words again, and we listen to them again
As we start to understand what they were trying to say all along

[Chorus]
Whoa-oh, save your tears
At the end of our time
We've cried enough in our lives
Just kiss my ashes goodbye
Kiss my ashes goodbye
When I die
Just kiss my ashes goodbye
(Goodbye, goodbye)
(Goodbye, goodbye)

[Post-Chorus]
Kiss my ashes goodbye
Kiss my ashes goodbye
Kiss my ashes goodbye
Kiss my ashes goodbye

[Refrain]
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, kiss my ashes goodbye
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, just kiss my ashes goodbye
(Goodbye, goodbye)

[Verse 3]
Curse all those who were so vain
Who felt entitled to hold a place on the earth
As a grave for their remains
But no monument for me
Please, I am not one of them
I didn't need it in life, I won't need it in death

[Chorus]
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, kiss my ashes goodbye

[Verse 4]
When words become irrelevant
And you start to feel as though you've been misled
Keep me out of sight, leave me out of mind
When I no longer serve you
Just let the memories die and move on

[Chorus]
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, kiss my ashes goodbye
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, kiss my ashes goodbye
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa, when I die
Kiss my ashes goodbye

[Outro]
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa, when I die
Kiss my ashes goodbye
