&lt;p&gt;what would you do if you heard from your friend that i was dead&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;would you think about all the past times we had&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;reminisce about the good and bad that passed&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;did you think of me at all&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;did it ever cross your mind that i was depressed&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;sitting in corners when my minds not at rest&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;thoughts running through my mind like what if i was dead &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;lonely nights by myself in my own bed&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;thinking about what i could have done differently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;do you think of me&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;since i am dead&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;all i am saying is that life is too short&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;well all make mistakes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;all we got is love &amp;amp; time to make it right&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;if i am alive that is&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;remember all the good &amp;amp; bad seeing things differently if i was dead&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;who would you talk to if you found out the news&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;do you still think of me at all&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;would you think of me at all if i was&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the light that guides us through the night&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;praying one day we make it through this fight we have with ourselves&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;hoping one day that light could guide us through the night&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;because at the end or the day when you are sitting in the corner all you feel is fright that feels the weak mind but you say tonight&amp;#8230;tonight is the night&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that i muster up the might that i have left to make it&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;make it through this night to see light that means only day&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but you made it&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the light that guided you through the night like the north star to the slave&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but it&amp;#8217;s all the same you look up wondering one day things will change to see the light&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that shines&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that gives hope to the strong mind thats been battered beaten and mistreaten&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that one day you&amp;#8217;ll make it through the night&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to see the light not the north star but the sun that star shown&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;bright in the sky that gives you what they tried taking away&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that&amp;#8217;s readily known&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="p1"&gt;in which everything i see&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;no one believes me&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;but if you look into my eyes&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;one day you&amp;#8217;ll see what i see&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="p1"&gt;but it only leaves me appalled &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;often i laugh but can you hear me&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;i wonder if one day we&amp;#8217;ll meet &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;maybe exchange words makeshift greet&amp;#8230;ings&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;for i do not welcome you but will treat you with respect&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="p1"&gt;so i acknowledge you for now from afar&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="p1"&gt;either old or young it&amp;#8217;s something you never want to be &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;either having many or just a few&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;some vow to find just one &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;but in reality some never do&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="p1"&gt;some find comfort in people they wish to seek&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;we live in a world where it is more ok to be acquainted but never close&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;establishing something that is only in the mind &amp;amp; sometimes a hoax&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;where the word itself lost power to the overuse of the weak&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;we seek things unattainable but are always mentionable &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;simple syllables meshed together to make this word readable&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
