Flirted with You All My Life
I am a man, I am self-aware
And everywhere I go
You're always right there with me
I flirted with you all my life
Even kissed you once or twice
And to this day, I swear it was nice
But clearly I was not ready
When you touched a friend of mine
I thought I would lose my mind
And I found out with time
That really I was not ready, no, no
Oh death
Oh death
Oh death
Really, I'm not ready
Oh death, you came to me
Decimate those dear to me
Teased me with your sweet release
You are full and you are constant
When my Mom was cancer sick
She fought, but then succumbed to it
But you made her beg for it
Sweet Jesus, please I'm ready
Oh death
Oh death
Oh death
Really, I'm not ready
No, no, no
I'm not ready
I'm not ready
No, no
Oh death
Oh death
Really, I'm not ready
