What if I told you that I was not going away?
What if I told you that I was forever going to stay?
Would you be happy? Would you be joyful?
Would you put on your smile, so beautiful?

But what if I told you that I lied to you?
What if I told you that I wasn't staying?
What if I told you that I was slowly going away,
And for my life, I was praying?

It's a hard thing, staying alive,
Made even harder day by day.
But, only with you by my side,
Can I keep the sadness at bay.

You are my hope through the darkest of days,
You are the light which keeps me awake.
Even though I may have to go away,
Till then, a better life, I'll make.
