Everybody Dies lyrics

Everybody dies, surprise, surprise
We tell each other lies, sometimes, we try
To make it feel like we might be right
We might not be alone
Be alone
"Everybody dies", that's what they say
And maybe in a couple hundred years
They'll find another way
I just wonder why you'd wanna stay
If everybody goes
You'd still be alone
I don't wanna cry, some days I do
But not about you
It's just a lot to think about the world I'm used to
The one I can't get back
At least not for a while
I sure have a knack for seeing life more like a child
It's not my fault, it's not so wrong to wonder why
Everybody dies
And when will I?
You oughta know
That even when it's time
You might not wanna go
But it's okay to cry
And it's alright to fold
But you are not alone
You are not unknown
