Adam Watts - The Rest of Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So I'm gonna plan me a funeral
Ain't gonna be no tears at the burial
No flowers, no friends, no family
I'm gonna shovel that dirt on the old me
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't need no sympathy
The fault is mine, it's all on me
[Chorus]
I'm gonna break myself in half
Light fire to the black, gotta do this fast
It's hell to know the worst of me
It's worth a try to make him leave
Oh I'm gonna break myself in half
And leave that half of me for dead
Make the best of me the rest of me instead
[Verse 2]
It's a young man's game that the old men lose
It's heavеn or hell and we have to choosе
[Pre-Chorus]
It's hard to fight a child's beliefs
It's revisionary history
[Chorus]
I'm gonna break myself in half
Light fire to the black, gotta do this fast
It's hell to know the worst of me
It's worth a try to make him leave
Oh I'm gonna break myself in half
And leave that half of me for dead
Make the best of me the rest of me instead
[Bridge]
And when I'm visiting the grave
Of all the parts I used to love
I'll say a prayer, they got me here
But I had to give them up
And now the worst of me
Will rest in peace under ground
[Chorus]
I'm gonna break myself in half
Light fire to the black, gotta do this fast
It's hell to know the worst of me
It's worth a try to make him leave
Oh I'm gonna break myself in half
And leave that half of me for dead
Make the best of me the rest of me instead
