[Verse 1]
Again, the burden of losing
Rests upon my shoulders
And its weight seems unbearable
"Your tomb is where your heart is"
I should've told her
But within me hid a secret so terrible

[Pre-Chorus]
To cry is to know that you're alive
But my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been
Buried alive by love

[Chorus]
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile, darling
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile
[Verse 2]
The kiss of vanity blessed me
With a spiritual murder
And fed the gods of war insatiable
"Your home is where the dark is"
I should've told her
And embraced the fire indestructible

[Pre-Chorus]
To die is to know that you're alive
But my river of blood, it won't run dry
I never wanted to lose you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been
Buried alive by love

[Chorus]
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile now
Oh, yeah

[Acoustic Solo]

[Verse 3]
Oh, to cry is to know that you're alive
But my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And a deserted soul is gone
A cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been
Buried alive by love

[Chorus]
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile, darling
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take, oh, yeah
And if I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, your smile
Oh, your smile
Oh, your smile
Oh, your smile
Oh, your smile
With your smile
Oh, with your smile, yeah
[Outro]
I've been buried alive by love
Been buried alive by love
Been buried alive by love
Been buried alive by love
Buried alive by love
Been buried alive by love
Been buried alive by love
