Come to My Funeral

Verse 1
You never called me on my birthday,
Always too busy on the phone.
But when I’m lying in a casket,
Bet you’ll say I wasn’t alone.

Pre-Chorus
Bring your flowers, bring your tears,
Make it look like all those years
You were right here by my side—
But we both know that’s a lie.

Chorus
Come to my funeral, sing me a song,
Pretend that you missed me all along.
Cry in the front row, wear something black,
Take all the pictures, post ‘em like that.
Come to my funeral, give me a cheer—
It’s the most attention I’ll get all year.

Verse 2
You never showed up for my party,
But you’ll show up when it’s too late.
You’ll be hugging all my cousins,
Like we were the best of mates.

Pre-Chorus
Tell the stories, make them sweet,
Act like I was so complete,
When you barely knew my name—
Oh, the drama, what a game.

Chorus
Come to my funeral, sing me a song,
Pretend that you missed me all along.
Cry in the front row, wear something black,
Take all the pictures, post ‘em like that.
Come to my funeral, give me a cheer—
It’s the most attention I’ll get all year.

Bridge
Don’t worry ‘bout the afterlife,
Just make sure the selfies get the likes.
If heaven’s watching, I’ll be amused,
Front row ticket to your fake news.

Final Chorus
Come to my funeral, dance on the floor,
Wish you had loved me a little bit more.
Post a long caption, say it was fate—
Funny how you only show up late.
Come to my funeral, make it a show—
Guess that’s the only way you’ll let me know.
