Faking My Own Suicide
by Matthew Thiessen, The Earthquakes

Album: My Other Band, Vol. 1

So I've made up my mind
I will pretend to leave this world behind
And in the end you'll know I've lied
To get your attention
I'm faking my own suicide

I'm faking my own suicide
Because I know you love me
You just haven't realized
I'm faking my own suicide
They'll hold a double funeral
Because a part of you will die along with me
It's kinda sweet

I wish you thought that I was dead
So rather than me, you'd be depressed instead
And before arriving at my grave
You come to the conclusion
You'd loved me all your days
But it's too late
Too late for you to say

Because I'm faking my own suicide
Because I know you love me
You just haven't realized
Oh, I'm faking my own suicide
Because a part of you will die along with me

I'll write you a letter that you'll keep
Reminding you your love for me
Is more than six feet deep
You'll say aloud that you would have been my wife
Right about that time is when I come back to life
And let you know
I'd let you know
That all along

I was faking my own suicide
Because I know you loved me
You just never realized
I was faking my own suicide
And I'll walk in that room
And see your eyes open so wide
Open so wide
Because you know

Because you know
You will never leave my side
Until the day that I die for the first time
And we'll laugh, yeah, we'll laugh
And we will cry
So overjoyed at our love that's so alive
Our love is so alive
