Don’t wait until i die to tell me you love me.
Don’t wait until I’m in a casket to tell me you always cared.
Don’t - wait to give me recognition for the way my heart breaks itself off and shares with the people closes to it.
I’ll take my roses right now while i can still smell them.
While i can still see them bloom, bright red and breathe in their sweet air.
Yeah, i will take my roses right now.

Tomorrow is not promised.
And yesterday is no longer with us.
So; don’t wait to give me my roses.
Trust me, I’m not cocky, my humility -
it runs deep but -
I don’t wanna be forgotten.

I wanna be remembered while I’m here.
I wanna be loved, i wanna be cared for.
I don’t want a billion people saying they love me, or my work, or what I’ve done in this world - after I’ve left it.
I’ll take a couple dozen roses now.
Show me you see me now...
