Lyrics
You Will Miss Me When I Burn
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you have no one,
No one can hurt you
When you have no one,
No one can hurt you
In the corners there is light
That is good for you
And behind you, I have warned you,
There are awful things
Will you miss me
When I burn, and will you eye me
With a longing
It is longing that I feel
To be missed for, to be real
When you have no one,
No one can hurt you
When you have no one,
No one can hurt you
Will you miss me
When I burn,
And will you close
The others' eyes, it would be
Such a favor
If you would blind them
There is absence, there is lack
There are wolves here abound
You will miss me
When I turn around
When you have no one,
No one can hurt you
When you have no one,
No one can hurt you
