Red eyes, like the smoke we rise As the candle's burning low Trust me in whatever you like Are you playing with me? Every time your name, it leaves my lips Running still like words left unsaid Fire in my veins dream deeply love Remind me I'm alive Will you love me when my heartbeat stops? When my heartbeat stops, will you stay mine? (mine) Will you promise me you'll search for us? Will you find me afterlife? (life) Oh, for better or for worse Will death be our last kiss, my love? (love) Will you promise me you'll search for us? Will you find me afterlife? (life) My ear is buzzing Oh, I'm trapped, no one's coming Immortality is bliss You put me down, then put me on a pedestal Now that I'm gone you're gonna miss me Every time your name, it leaves my lips Running still like words left unsaid Fire in my veins dream deeply love Remind me I'm alive Will you love me when my heartbeat stops? When my heartbeat stops, will you stay mine? (mine) Will you promise me you'll search for us? Will you find me afterlife? (life) Oh, for better or for worse Will death be our last kiss, my love? (love) Will you promise me you'll search for us? Will you find me afterlife? (life) Candle's burning Will you find? Will you find me afterlife? Oh, afterlife, the afterlife Will you love (will you love) in the afterlife? Will you love (will you love), will you love me? Will you love (will you love) in the afterlife? Will you love (will you love), will you love me? Will you love me when my heartbeat stops? When my heartbeat stops, will you stay mine? Will you promise me you'll search for us? Will you find me afterlife? (life) Oh, for better or for worse Will death be our last kiss, my love? Oh-oh When my heartbeat stops, will you stay mine? Afterlife Afterlife
