would you cry if i died tomorrow?
would your life be filled with sorrow?

if you never saw me again
would you cease writing with your pen?

if i could no longer bear this life
would you think of me with strife?

if i just couldn't take another day
would you hate me and just run away?

if my pain was too much to swallow
would you forget my lessons to follow?

if my dreams came crashing down
would you pull away from me and frown?

if i left you with all of my mess
would you end up like me: depressed?

well, let me tell you
this you may do
but you won't get a chance
i didn't die before you

i'm the one left with this sorrow
and you are not here
no shoulder to borrow...
