I can't afford your death right now. We gotta schedule somewhere between the next 50 to 60 years Or maybe we stop being friends. And even then, I still couldn't afford it until the next 20 or so years. At the least. A funeral costs about $5000 Your death costs a chunk of my soul Your death would shatter my mind I'd spend a lifetime trying to pick up all the broken pieces, And every time, getting cut by the glass Your death costs a lifetime of hair dye from going gray before my time Do you know how many inhalers I'd have fo buy? I'd forget how to breathe without you If you died, I'd have to pay more for gas every week I'd go out of my way not to drive by your house everyday I'd need to invest in an IV Something to replenish myself after all the tears I'd spend a fortune, Spend a whole lifetime Trying to get you out of my head It's like paying someone to remove a stain off my brain And that **** isnt cheap So I can't afford your death But if something does happen to you And you leave me to handle the bill I'll have to pay for a bigger coffin Because I'm just gonna climb in next to you
