What if



What if the world was ending and
we had no Chance to say goodbye
What if our hearts were breaking,
Because no one ever said what was on their minds.
What would your last words be?
What what they really mean?
When it all came crashing down
are you going to run and hide?
Stand and fight? Or will somebody
Save you somebody save you tonight
Feeling like you're at the end of the Road.
Can't go back can't go home.
Feeling like you're all alone.
Let somebody save you.
Somebody save you tonight.
So what was your last words be?
What would they really mean?
If you had one more day
and the world was ending
What would there be left to say?
