Would You?

If I wept today for you,
Would you notice me?
Would that be the first time
You'd see that I cared?
Or would you go on forgetting
As if memories existed,
That were worth remembering anyway.
Would you spend any nights
The way that I have
Watching minutes pass slowly throughout.
I hate all the pain,
Yet it's all that I know.
I live and I die for it,
So tell me once more,
Because everything's lost and soon I'll be gone.
If I wept today over nothing but you,
Would you care?

If I told you I was leaving,
Would you try and stop me?
Or would you sit back while
I waved my goodbye,
And later blame the pain all on me?
I could go lose myself over and over,
In a place far better than here,
And think of what life could've been
If I had never met you.
But is this everything that I want?
To completely forget a lost love?
Or to forget the loss,
Remember the love,
And live happily ever after.
Then what's love without loss?
Would I still be so in love
If our paths never parted in the first place?

If I died today of lonliness,
Would you then begin to care?
Would you re-think your life?
Or would mine just go wasted?
Would you still live the life that I wish I had had,
And let me fall into the past?
Would you let me become just some memory
And most likely a bad one at that?
Would you leave my bedroom untouched,
And the music still playing,
'Til the day when those memories were lost.
Or would you sell all my things
To get rid of the pain
Of the love that you found once I'd gone?
Would you run away?
Would you ask yourself, "Why?"
Or would you only care
For your own feelings and pain?
Just as it was once before.
If I died today of lonliness,
Would you love me, forget me,
Or am I already forgotten?
