tell all my friends I'm dead 
I'm leaving you, this time its for good 
tell all my friends that I'm dead 
it won't be long before you forget my name 

can you tell 
that I'm losing myself 
I think I'm trying too hard to 
let it show 
to let you know 
don't trace your footsteps back to me 

cause I've been gone for a long time 
waiting on the sidelines 
hoping for a chance to play 
well I thought I would never leave anything behind 
I also never thought I'd say 

tell all my friends I'm dead 
I'm leaving you, this time its for good 
tell all my friends that I'm dead 
it won't be long before you forget my name 

can you tell 
that I don't know myself 
I need someone to remind me 
to let it go 
please let me know 
don't trace your footsteps back to me 

cause I've been gone for a long time 
waiting on the sidelines 
hoping for a chance to play 
well I thought I would never leave anything behind 
I also never thought I'd say 

tell all my friends I'm dead 
I'm leaving you, this time its for good 
tell all my friends that I'm dead 
it won't be long before you forget my name 

and if I had the chance 
to do it all again 
I wouldn't expect anything less 
and if I had the chance 
to do it all again 
I wouldn't expect 
I wouldn't expect anything less 

tell all my friends I'm dead 
I'm leaving you, this time its for good 
tell all my friends that I'm dead 
it won't be long before you forget my name 

forget my name
