My last dying wish...
If my life were on the line, would you keep the line strong
Or would you cut it?
If you were my last hope for living, would you stay by me lifelong
Or would you not care one bit?
If my life were in your hands, would you hold it tight
Or would you let it fall
If you knew this was my last day alive, would you cry all night
Or would you throw a ball?
If I were no more, would you miss me
Or would I be forgotten?
If I asked for one last kiss, would you kiss me
Or would you treat me rotten?
Now that I'm dying I only have one wish
Whether you choose to remember me or forget me
Whether you choose to cry for me or rejoice
Just don't let me die alone
