You will be missed
No matter how bad things are
People care about who you are
Think about your mom far away
If she heard what you wanted to do
I'm sure she would come comfort you
I know your dad is blinded by love
To someone who you hate so much
But I have been there times before
And things get better if you try
I know you have liked boys before
Who didn't like you back
But there are plenty more out there
If you wait and see
You may even find true love
Then you can be happy
What about the little girl
Who wanted to do ballet
But since was low on money
Couldn't do the thing she wanted most
And then she made a promise
That she'd have a daughter and let her do ballet
Don't end that dream now
Or the ones to come
Don't turn off the light in your tunnel
So you can see the obstacles up ahead
And no matter how difficult they become
You will always have a friend
I know you think you're ugly
But plenty others do
So before you plan your death
Please think this through
And know that I am here for you
If you ever need to talk
Or just have someone by your side
I'll be there just say the word
And we can sit and cry
But the one thing you can not do
Is give up and die
Not just for me and not just for them
I want you to stay alive for you
This is why you can't die
