Forget Me When I’m Gone Lyrics by Crash Thompson

The Garageband Demos

2018

Normal’s not a language that I ever learned to speak
But I remain amazed and grateful
For the people who’ve spoke to me
I never had too many answers. I was never all that wise
But babies, I have tried my whole damn life just simply to be kind
Maybe that’s all you can do. I know it’s really worth the try
Life is beautiful, but easy to lose sight of in the grind
So when it’s time for me to pass
Please don’t be mourning for too long
Sing a song and shed a tear and then forget me when I’m gone
I have no idea what lies before me, once I hit the grave
But I’ve finally reached the point where I am no longer afraid
So please don’t wail and moan and cry
When you are spreading out my ash
I lived loud and loved and had some fun
And what more could you ask
I was very far from perfect, but God knows I did my best
And if there is a god to meet me when I finally come to rest
I’ll stand tall and proud and humble that the life I lived was strong
But if he still will not accept me. He can forget me when I’m gone
I don’t need an easy answer to the how’s… when’s and why’s
And I don’t need a golden palace in the sky
I just want to be fine… with how I lived
But if there is a heaven that will take a man like me
I will do everything that I can to save you all good seats
And I guess if I were to have any final passing words:
So it goes, love. So it goes. Don’t let your mistakes make your world
Because there’s so much in your life you’ll miss if justified by fear
And that sadness in your heart should not define why you are here
So i f you have to mourn me, do it quickly and go have your fun
‘Cause life is meant for living, please, forget me when I’m gone
