I You Died Right Now

If you died right now

Would you be happy with the way you lived

Or would you try to rewind

Like an old, abandoned tape?

If you died right now

Would you like the way it ended

Or would you try again

To correct those many mistakes?

If you died right now

Would it make a difference

Or would you just fall

Without a care?

If you died right now

Would you want to take back what you said

Or would you save those words

For another day?

So…

Because you live right now

Should you try to make things better

Or should you go on

To die feeling the exact same way?
