Before I'm Gone

Before I'm gone, tell them that I was just a girl who was trying to get through everyday.

That I never really cared for makeup, or how short a skirt could be.

That I cared about other people more than I did myself, because sometimes you have too

big of a heart to really start caring for yourself.

Before I'm gone, tell them that I was passionate.

Tell them that I had such a big passion for myself.

For music.

For love.

Tell them how much I loved to be alone, because at some point everybody is.

Tell them that the candle they lit never stopped growing.
