Dead lyrics

I might be dead, might be dead, might be dead By the time you hear this song I bring a knife to a fistfight But lately my baby bring her gun Yeah, she's a cold hearted killer She'll play you out and just move on So if I'm dead, if I'm dead, if I'm dead By the time you hear this song Tell 'em I was strong to the bitter end Tell 'em I believed on these six strings and every word I said Yeah, it was my greatest fault and my greatest gift And I died like a fool for it So tell 'em how I lived I might be dead, might be dead, might be dead By the time the music stops And the only way you'll see me Is in a casket or in a plastic box So if I'm dead, if I'm dead, if I'm dead By the time you hear this song Tell 'em I was strong to the bitter end Tell 'em I believed on these six strings and every word I said Yeah, it was my greatest fault and my greatest gift And I died like a fool for it So tell 'em It was my greatest fault and my greatest gift And I died like a fool for it So tell 'em how I lived You tell 'em how I lived Let's get it straight I'll take your money, but I Don't want your pity Don't need your sympathy I just need to know That all this running was for something (Don't play me for a fool) I'll take your money, but I (Don't want your sympathy) Don't want your pity I just need to know That all this running All this running was for something But maybe I'll never know Tell 'em I was strong to the beautiful end Tell 'em I believed on these six strings and every word I said Yeah, it was my greatest fault and my greatest gift And I died like a fool for it So tell 'em It was my greatest fault and my greatest gift And I died like a fool for it So tell 'em how I lived You tell 'em how I lived Dead, might be dead By the time you hear this song, I might be dead I bring a knife to a fistfight But lately my baby, she bring a gun Dead, might be dead By the time you hear this song, I might be dead Dead, might be dead and gone
