If I said goodbye before I leave,
Would you forgive me for leaving,
Would you stop and think of the reasons why,
Would you hold all that pathetic grieving,
If I left this world for a reason you don't know,
Would you cry,
Or would you speak to me,
Or at least try,
If I decided I was weak and ended my days with a gun or knife,
Would you hold a grudge,
Or would you simply let go and remember the best times,
Keep our emptiness in touch,
If I go,
Would you care,
Would you think of me,
Everyday and night,
Or think of all the things I did wrong,
Instead of what I did right,
Would you only remember my foolish death,
Or remember my legendary life,
Would you smile at the very thought of me,
Or cry and rage ever single lonely day,
Would you let go and move on,
Keeping me somewhere at least,
Or would you stay stuck in time,
And refuse any peace,
If I say goodbye,
Would you say "goodbye" back,
Instead of dismissing me like some sap,
Would you regret all of your crudeness,
And feel the guilt bearing on your shoulders with each passing day,
Or, like before,
Simply forgive,
And enjoy your life for me,
And continue,
Finishing off what I never did,
And still keep me in your memory?
If I said goodbye,
Would you think,
And stop me,
Pour your heart out,
For me to stay,
And if I did,
Would you take me for granted ever again?
