I'd always wondered if it hurt

If i die young

Dying, I mean.

Bury me in satin

Now I knew,

Lay me down on a bed of roses

I'd known the risks but it didn't stop me did it?

Sink me in the river, at dawn

Now, I'm lying in a galra cell with a rod sticking out of my stomach

Send me away with the words of a love song

Holy shit, I'd promised keith I'd go with him to that stupid ass movie

Uh oh,Uh oh

Guess I wouldn' see him there

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother

Would mom even know I was dead?

She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colours, oh

For all I know I've been declared missing and assumed dead on earth.

And, life ain't always what you think it oughta be,no

It's unfair, there was so much I wanted to do.

Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

Mama was only 50. She'd been so excited when I got into the garrison.

The sharp knife, of a short life,

I wonder if she regrets it,

Well

Maybe she's sitting at home, wondering what would have happened if she hadn't let me enlist.

I've had just enough time

If I close my eyes I can see her there, sitting on the porch, hair pulled back, her favourite green dress on, singing some obscure spanish song which Dad wrote for her way back when

If I die young,

I won't see her smile again.

Bury me in satin

I wouldn't meet Marco's baby

Lay me down on a, bed of roses

I wouldn't burn cookies with pidge

Sink, me in the river, at dawn,

Won't wake up to Coran's bad cooking

Send me away, with the words of a love song

And i'll never wake up next to keith

The sharp knife of a short life

No.

Well

I was going to make it.

I've had just enough time

I was going to save the world

So put on your best boys, and I'll wear my pearls

I wasn't going to be lost in the pages of history

What I never did is done

I was going to make them remember me

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar

Even if I didn't make it back.

They're worth so much more once I'm a goner

I was going to make them regret ever touching me

And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singin'

I reach up towards my helmet.

Funny when you're dead, how people start listenin'

It's now or never.

If I die young, bury me in satin

"This is Lance, does anyone copy?"

Lay me down on a bed of roses

"Lance? What's going on?"

Sink me in the river at dawn

"Allura…"

Send me away with the words of a love song

"Lance, where are you?"

Oh-oh, (oh-oh)

"Keith…"

The ballad of a dove

He deserves closure

Go with peace and love

"Listen, I don't have a lot of time"

Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket

"Lance?!"

Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh

"Tell ma I'm sorry, okay?"

The sharp knife of a short life

"I love you so much"

Well, I've had just enough time

"You're not allowed to die!"

So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls

" I'm sorry". I charge into battle one last time
