"If I Die Today"

If I die today I will be saved

wherever I go has to be better then this

I know I will be missed and people will cry

my family will pray and look up at the sky

they'll talk about all the trouble I caused

and the many people I have helped

they will mourn and remember all the good and the bad

saying what a happy life she would have had

eventually I will remain a good memory

they never have to know or see the emptiness that took over me

crying every night until I fell asleep

I won't have to pretend anymore that everything is ok

or wake up in the morning and think "just get through this day"

I never have to feel like a girl trapped in her own body

or have to smile and have no feeling inside me

 I won't have to wish everyday that you were here with me

but I can't be so lucky as to be taken away

from a life ahead of me filled with pain

I will die with a smile on my face

knowing I don't have to live another day
