Try Not to Die Until You’re Dead Songtext
von Svalbard

I smile to trick the fear inside me
I smile to seem like I′m improving
But the brave grin does not go in
A surface layer painted on the skin
Of a body that is facing uncertainty

Yesterday I chased a dream
Now I just want to be able to sleep
Suddenly riddled with incapability
Funny how illness changes everything

Never really believed in believing
Until I had to believe I would get better
And that was all I had, no knowledge or progress
Just hope, wafer thin hope


Clung onto with a fist
Must try not to damage it
I must believe
And even if I don't get better
Thanks for sitting with me while I cried

Thanks for easing the hours when I was too weak to stand
Thanks for all the little detours where we wandered off together
And found things more important than what we want
Those are truly treasured moments

And believe me I know
That it′s hard to have hope
But I will try not to die until I am dead

I will try not to die until I am dead
I may be aching and exhausted, but life's not over yet
I will try not to die until I am dead
I may be aching and exhausted, but life's not over yet

So it doesn′t hurt to hope and it will never hurt to try
Try not to die until you′re dead
So it doesn't hurt to hope and it will never hurt to try
Try not to die until you′re dead
So it doesn't hurt to hope and it will never hurt to try
Try not to die until you′re dead
