We mourn the dead day and night
As our love for them was always right
We feel scorching grief and sorrow
As if our body is empty and hollow
We mourn the dead but forget the living
Never assuming they might not be forgiving
We say we love them but we just forget
And that mistake always ends in regret
For we lose the chance to show that we care
Making them loathe us and live in despair
They feel jealous for being replaced
Replaced by ones supposedly erased
So mark my words and hear me out
I am not saying go out and about
Hold the lost ones deep within your heart
And cherish the ones around you before it's too late to start

We mourn the dead day and night
As our love for them was always right
We feel scorching grief and sorrow
As if our body is empty and hollow
We mourn the dead but forget the living
Never assuming they might not be forgiving
We say we love them but we just forget
And that mistake always ends in regret
For we lose the chance to show that we care
Making them loathe us and live in despair
They feel jealous for being replaced
Replaced by ones supposedly erased
So mark my words and hear me out
I am not saying go out and about
Hold the lost ones deep within your heart
And cherish the ones around you before it's too late to start
I had other alterations in mind but I wanted to post something as soon as I've finished so if anyone has any suggestions feel free to let me know.
