If I die young
Bury me in satin
Lay me dawn in a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
When it was time for the war Holy Roman Empire had to leave Austria's house and all he cared. Especially Italy, he didn't know how to tell her (he still thought Italy was a girl) that he will be going away for a while. When he was at the front gate ready to go to war with a painting of Italy so he would always think of her. He was surprised to see there, but after giving her a loving goodbye kiss Holy Roman Empire went to war and never returned. It completely shattered poor Italy's heart.
Lord make me a rainbow
I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you
When she stands under my colors
And life ain't always what you think it ought to be
No, ain't even grey but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
The atmosphere at Austria's house was really depressing and most of it was Italy, but some was Austria, because he took of Holy Rome and very mad and upset to hear what happened and to find out that Prussia took Holy Rome's little body. Sometimes he would just let a few tears fall, but he didn't want any one to see. But if someone saw it would mostly be Italy, because she would know who the tears were for. Then she would hide in a corner and sobbing.
If I die young
Bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
Holy Roman Empire was all Italy could think about and how he said he'll come back for her, but for to know he will never come back would make her start crying like there's no tomorrow. Austria understood what she was going through so he gave her time off for working while she tries to find happiness again. When she was walking to her room she saw Holy Rome's bedroom door open. When she peaked in she saw the first painting they did together. A slight smile was on her face and then tears.
And, I'll be wearing white
When I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
Who ever thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
Italy remembered when she help Holy Rome with some stuff and he would help her with others. She thought really on what she could have told him before he went to go fight in the war. She would wish and wish that he was still with her, because the more and more she thought about how much she missed him, the more and more her spirit is crushed and her heart breaks. She thought to herself "I want remember Holy Rome, but I don't want to be hurt by the memories that I hold dear."
So put on your best boys
And I'll wear my pearls
But I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts
Oh no
I'll sell them for a dollar
There was so much more
After I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing
Funny when you're dead, how people start listening
So she if she forgets she wont get hurt, but remember when she needs to. So she did as she had thought and stored away her memories Holy Rome. Some years later (after Italy resaved his man hood and is a huge wimp) in WWI, Italy was scared to fight a big country called Germany. Scared out of his mind Italy hid in a tomato box hoping Germany would and not hurt him. But Germany broke open the box Italy a begging for Germany not to hit him. After an hour of pleading Italy opened his and if it was his imagination, he saw Holy Rome standing where Germany stand and he began to tear up.
If I die young
Bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Ah oh, ah oh
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears
And keep them in your pocket
Save them for a time when you really gonna need them
Oh the sharp knife of a short life
Well I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys
And I'll wear my pearls
Italy thought that maybe Germany is Holy Roman Empire but with the memories he and Italy shared. So he thought that if he never leaves Germany's side Italy won't lose him again and Germany might get the memories of being Holy Rome back and they can be happy again. So from that point on Italy was trying to help Germany regain his true memories.
