One day you're going to wake up,
Except I won't be there,
I'll be gone.

You'll sit up and wonder where I went,
But after a while it'll sink in,
That I've gone home

You'll probably want to see me
That won't be, necessary
Because what you'll see
Is the shell I was in

It won't be me
It'll kick in
there's no way of bringing me back
I've gone where I belong

You'll probably miss me,
Miss my smile
My voice
My laugh
My everything

You'll probably miss me,
Miss my fingers in your hair
My lips on yours
The way I always held your hand
Even when I wasn't scared

You'll probably miss me,
Miss me calling you names
then laughing afterwards
Letting you know I didn't mean it

You'll probably miss me,
Miss waking up next to me
Miss me trying to make you smile
Because it was the best thing
That I'd ever seen

You'll check your phone
And my name will be there
It'll be my final text to you
My feelings smeared into it

Your tears will fall to the screen
You'll ask yourself why
You'll blame yourself
But it wasn't you
It was everything

You'll read it again and again
You'll try to hear my voice
You'll cry and scream

You'll check my snapchat story
And my Instagram
You'll see it all
You'll see me crying for the last time
Apologizing to everyone I love
But then you'll look farther
You'll see every good memory we made
You'll see me smiling for the last time
You'll remember everything I've said

Hopefully you'll understand
I gave everyone a chance to help
But no one wanted to listen to that
Because it was negative
It didn't make anyone feel better
So it was forgotten

I'm sorry for leaving you
It's just what I had to do
But don't be blue

I'll always be by your side
I'll be there when you cry
I'll try to help you through this

All the words I used to say
I'll say them again
You just won't hear them
