if i die young, know i died unhappy and lifeโs unfair,
if i grow old and die traditionally,
know i died unhappy and life was a misery
iโd tell you a tale
of all of my lifeโs history
but it would all be derailed and all sound pale
in the words of my mouths contradictory
so iโll leave you with my frail words for the cemetery;
if i die young, know i died unhappy and lifeโs unfair,
if i grow old and die traditionally,
know i died unhappy and life was a misery
when iโll die, iโll die artistically
candle lights, speaking words lyrically
and if youll ask me if i could go back and do it all again, if iโd make a change,
iโd say in a heartbeat
and if i did, i wouldnโt have to repeat
if i die young, know i died unhappy and lifeโs unfair,
if i grow old and die traditionally,
know i died unhappy and life was a misery
for i didnโt do it my way,
i did it lifeโs way
if a decision could have swayed
me in another direction,
i would be happier, in the life of my correction,
that got lost and died with life
while i waited to come back to mine
so if i die young, know i died unhappy and lifeโs unfair,
if i grow old and die traditionally,
know i died unhappy and life was a misery
and to my life, i miss you
and to my cat-child, i miss you
and to my moms eyes, i miss you
and to my sister-child, i miss you
and to what was once mine, i miss you
getting some things off my chest
