Live While You Can

[Verse 1 spoken, quiet, reflective] I wonder what you will think of me When I'm gone I wonder what you think of me now I tried to be a good person My whole life There were times I could have Said things to hurt Or put others down But the guilt hit me before I could speak Like my conscience already knew That words can destroy [Pre-Chorus] So I lived by one simple line Treat people how you’d want them to treat you And maybe that sounds small But it carried me through [Chorus ] And before my name fades into the past Before the world moves on when I breathe my last I hope somebody can say "She was kind..." Not perfect But not afraid to help Just someone who tried Someone who tried [Verse 2 spoken] When I'm gone from this Earth Don't remember me with tears Think about the fun times The stupid moments How we laughed and cried together All the struggles we survived together You don't have to cry for me I just hope I left something good behind [Pre-Chorus ] It took me years to understand Life doesn’t wait for anyone Its a simple truth You breathe You hurt You heal You live while you can [Chorus] And before my name fades into the past Before the world moves on when I breathe my last I hope somebody can say "She was kind..." Not perfect But not afraid to help Just someone who tried Someone who tried [Bridge almost whispered] If your burden is a little lighter Because of me Then I leave this world A little better than I found it [Final Chorus ] So when the first night comes And you're alone Don't cry too long Remember me Then Live Love And carry on 'Cause life is too short for regrets and sorrow Live it while you can Just live it while you can [Outro Soft Fading] It took me years to understand Life doesn’t wait for anyone You breathe You hurt You heal You love while you can So live while you can Please… live while you can
