When You Were Alive
It's been said that once we're dead
Our bodies rot, conscious extinguished
Like a candle's suffocated flame
If this is true, I'm confused
Why would you ever want to lose
Your life like it's just a schoolyard game
Please keep all sharp objects away from your arm
Don't be foolish causing yourself harm
Today I read that you were dead
My heart was filled with such regret
Why didn't I interfere
I should have called the cops on you, but
As a friend I didn't wanna intrude
But maybe if I did, you'd still be here
Your tombstone tells me that you're resting in peace
Your spirit yet keeps troubling me
It's been said that once we're dead
Our soul clings to the corpse that's left
Like your bloodstains to the floor
I don't believe that this is true
I think there's still a chance for you
To cross over through that open door
Don't be afraid to walk toward the light
You are limitless my friend, so take flight
And now as you ascend into the sky
I hope you finally feel that high
You were craving when you were alive
Our bodies rot, conscious extinguished
Like a candle's suffocated flame
If this is true, I'm confused
Why would you ever want to lose
Your life like it's just a schoolyard game
Please keep all sharp objects away from your arm
Don't be foolish causing yourself harm
Today I read that you were dead
My heart was filled with such regret
Why didn't I interfere
I should have called the cops on you, but
As a friend I didn't wanna intrude
But maybe if I did, you'd still be here
Your tombstone tells me that you're resting in peace
Your spirit yet keeps troubling me
It's been said that once we're dead
Our soul clings to the corpse that's left
Like your bloodstains to the floor
I don't believe that this is true
I think there's still a chance for you
To cross over through that open door
Don't be afraid to walk toward the light
You are limitless my friend, so take flight
And now as you ascend into the sky
I hope you finally feel that high
You were craving when you were alive
