Please listen.

I will teach you what I've learned

That the heart can never heal

The tears you cry are precious

And which friends I know are real

I will tell you of the heartbreak

Of the stress and sleepless nights

All the deepest darkest secrets

Of the shadows of my mind

I will show you how to breathe

When the air is somehow full

When the world pushes back

I’ll show you to hide your soul

I find darker days much brighter

Than other people that I've seen

I've seen the strongest fall to ashes

The ones who never could be weak

I will teach you how I love

In this world so full of hate

I will show you how to prove

You have control over your fate

So just stay for one more day

See you have so much to learn

Show the world that you're stronger

Or just stay to watch it burn

Either way please listen

This is my final plea

This world is dark without you

I wish you had stayed with me
