    Is this how I die?
    Ridiculed and laughed at
    Wearing clown shoes
    Is this how I die?
    Furious and reckless
    Sick with booze
    How did I live?
    I taste every wasted minute
    Every time I turned away
    From the things that might have healed me
    How long have I been sleeping?
    Is this how I die?
    Frightened like a child
    Lazy and numb
    Is this how I die?
    Pretending and preposterous
    And dumb
    How did I live?
    Was I kind enough and good enough?
    Did I love enough?
    Did I ever look up
    And see the moon
    And the stars
    And the sky?
    Oh why have I been sleeping?
    They say we are asleep
    Until we fall in love
    We are children of dust and ashes
    But when we fall in love we wake up
    And we are a God
    And angels weep
    But if I die here tonight
    I die in my sleep
    All of my life I spent searching the words
    Of poets and saints and prophets and kings
    And now at the end all I know that I’ve learned
    Is that all that I know is I don’t know a thing
    So easy to close off
    Place the blame outside
    Hiding in my room at night
    So terrified
    All the things I could have been
    But I never had the nerve
    Life and love
    I don’t deserve
    So all right, all right
    I’ve had my time
    Close my eyes
    Let the death bells chime
    Bury me in burgundy
    I just don’t care
    Nothing’s left
    I looked everywhere
    Is this how I die?
    Was there ever any other way my life could be?
    Is this how I die?
    Such a storm of feelings inside of me?
    But then why am I screaming?
    Why am I shaking?
    Oh God, was there something that I missed?
    Did I squander my divinity?
    Was happiness within me the whole time?
    They say we are asleep
    Until we fall in love
    We are children of dust and ashes
    But when we fall in love we wake up
    And we are a God
    And angels weep
    But if I die here tonight
    I die in my sleep
    They say we are asleep
    Until we fall in love
    And I’m so ready
    To wake up now
    I want to wake up
    Don’t let me die while I’m like this
    I want to wake up
    God don’t let me die while I’m like this
    Please let me wake up now
    God don’t let me die while I’m like this
    I’m ready
    I’m ready
    To wake up

    아직 잠든 거야
    사랑이 내게 없으니
    난 준비 됐어
    다시 깨어날
    깨고 싶어 난
    이대로 죽을 순 없어
    깨고 싶어 난
    신이여 내가 잠들지 않게
    날 깨워주소서
    신이여 내가 잠들지 않게
    나 이제

    깨어나!

      @theatrepianoaccompaniments2147  7 лет назад

      Oh, I always have tips to give. My biggest tip: engage in a learning-by-ear project. My first project like this was learning all of Billy Joel's Greatest Hits. It took a while, but I learned a lot in the process!

      @theatrepianoaccompaniments2147  7 лет назад

      Zoe Ellen 〈3 I should also say that I did not do this one by ear - I started to learn by ear and got impatient because I wanted to post the video today. So I learned this the good old-fashioned way!
