If I Were To
Tell me if I were to die right now
Could you tell me that you're proud?
That I never let you down
And if I'm worth it then how?
I tried hard to get here
They say "oh don't you worry dear"
But the pain just gets deeper
Look out here comes my reaper
If I were to go away
Drop off the Earth
Would you miss me?
Would you reminisce me?
If I were to die today
Would any of you say
You were glad to know me?
Even though I was a nobody
You have to work for love, that shit ain't free
There is no guarantee
You can have what you want in this life
Every possibility to be struck down with a knife
Walk away from the wreckage
I've got a lot of baggage
Don't try to hold me up
I'm not some sick pup
Tell me if I were to die right now
Could you tell me you're proud?
That I never let you down
And if I'm worth it then how?
If I shut you out
Will you be done for the count?
Are you going to stick around?
Even after all my pieces fall to the ground
Because I need a reason
Not just that I'm in season
I'm really not the type
To moan and gripe
Tell me if I were to go away
And check out of hotel Earth
Would you miss me?
Would reminisce me?
If I were to die today
Would any of you say
You were glad to know me?
Even though I was a nobody
