Deathbed

Tell me something good
On my deathbed
Tell me it's not 
All been bad

Tell me it's okay
Tell me it's okay
On my deathbed
And not a word before

Tell me I was good
Right before I quit

Tell me I wasn't all wrong
Right before I give up

Tell me something good
On my deathbed

Tell me my entire existence
Wasn't futile
Right beside my deathbed
After I've taken my life

Tell me it's not 
All been bad
Right before
I end it all
