Would you?
If I were to cry,
Would you be there?
Of I were to bleed,
Would you care?
If I were to die,
Would you miss me?
To jump from a bridge,
Or to hang from a tree?
If you were to cry,
Yes I'd be there
If you were to bleed,
Yes I would care,
If you were to die
I'd miss you lots,
For the suicide no,
But a natural cause,
So take a good look,
Or even flick through a book,
Tell me,
Does it work both ways?
Look at me close,
What do you see?
