If today, I'd pass away
What would people say?
What would you feel about me?
Would you cry or feel bad?

Would you feel lacking?
When a friend speaks of me
What I've done, and have been through
Things you never understood of me

Would you feel more pain?
If you knew the reason behind
That you should've given more recognition
Rather than being ignorant and insensitive

Would you feel clueless and curious?
About something I never told you
That you would perhaps never know
'Cause I'm the only one who does

Would you feel surprised?
Upon knowing that I' ve done something
Something beyond what you never thought of
That has a slight chance of happening

Would you feel bummed?
That you never told me what you wanted
That you wish you could've cherished me
That you didn't see my worth as a person

Would you compliment me?
Say the words in front of my cold body
Words like "I love you" or "I'm sorry"
Words that seem so hard to let out

Would you wrong me?
Speak lies about things I've "done"
Due to insecurities and misunderstandings
That you never really appreciated who I am

Would you feel that I did you wrong?
For doing things I've never meant
That you still have in your heart planted
If I have, then I sincerely give my apologies

As a son, a brother, a best friend, a lover
A friend, a student, an acquaintance, a stranger
Whether your relationship to me is sincere,
Or whether you didn't really dug deeper

Know that I wouldn't be haunting you
Nor think that I haven't forgiven you
'Cause I don't get mad much nor for a long time
So if I'd pass today, I hope you don't feel burdened
