Everyone wants to live
But no one wants to give
I wish I was less selfish
At least if I were
You'd be here
Yet it's human nature
To remember only the bad memories
And forget the good
As they make me remember you the most
You were kind to me life
I should've accepted the gift
You were alive one day
But now you are far away
Like a midnight summer dream
All because of me you drifted far away
Now I realize your a gift that's hard to get
