Dearly beloved
We're gathered here today
To pay our last respects
To the guilt and regret
That had me buried in my shame
See, I was so hopeless
I stopped making plans
Convinced my best was behind me
The past would define me
Don't deserve a second chance
Then I met you
And everything changed
I met you
And I'll never be the same
So I'm throwing a funeral, funeral
For the old me
I'm throwing a funeral, funeral
For who I used to be
The new has come the old is gone
Praise the Lord I'm moving on
I'm throwing a funeral, funeral
For the old me
All that was broken
Has now been redeemed
I was the captive, the sinner, the beggar, the prisoner
But now I'm set free
Because of you
My soul has been saved
Because of you
That old life's in the grave
And, I'm throwing a funeral, funeral
For the old me
I'm throwing a funeral, funeral
For who I used to be
The new has come the old is gone
Praise the Lord I'm moving on
I'm throwing a funeral, funeral
For the old me
I'm saying goodbye
To who I've been
I'm saying goodbye
To who I've been
I'm saying goodbye
Never going back again
I'm saying goodbye
Now, I don't know when it's coming
But when my time runs out
I'll be happy to leave, yeah 'cause it won't be me
They're laying in the ground
I'll be with you
Standing in the sun
I'll be with you
So until that day comes
I'm throwing a funeral, funeral
For the old me
I'm throwing a funeral, funeral
For who I used to be
The new has come the old is gone
Praise the Lord I'm moving on
I'm throwing a funeral, funeral
For the old me
I'm throwing a funeral, funeral
For the old me
I'm throwing a funeral, funeral
For the old me
