You were a child who was made of glass You carried a black heart passed down from your dad If somebody loved you they'd tell you by now We all turn away when you're down You want to go back to where you felt safe To hear your brother's laughter, see your mother's face Your childhood home is just powder-white bones And you'll never find your way back And when you're gone, will they say your name? And when you're gone, will they love you the same? If not, that's okay If not, that's okay You are broken and callow, cautious and safe You are boundless in beauty with fright in your face Until someone loves you, I'll keep you safe But like them, I will give you away And when you're gone, will they say your name? And when you're gone, will they love you the same? If not, that's okay And when you're gone, will they say your name? And when you're gone, will they love you the same? Oh, when you're gone, we won't say a word But you know, that's okay Don't you know that's okay?
