i don't want to die

a guy i went to school with got hit by a car yesterday

we weren't even friends but it still hit me in the same way

and it had me thinkin' if that night i'd walked the same street

it could've been me

that could've been me

and at 2 am his parents get a call from the cops

cause of death was a drunk driver

we're sorry for your loss

can't imagine what it must be like to bury the kid

you're gonna outlive

you're gonna outlive

you just never know

when you're gonna go

i'm scared that my time will come

and they'll say i was too young

now i lay in bed

all up in my head

thinkin' about leavin' this world behind

i don't wanna die

and be a body ten feet under the ground

everyone i love gets used to me not bein' around

life is finally gettin' good

i know one day that it'll end

but don't take me yet

please

don't take me yet

you just never know

when you're gonna go

i'm scared that my time will come

and there'll be so much that i still haven't done

now i lay in bed

all up in my head

thinkin' about not getting to say goodbye

i don't wanna die

i don't

i don't

i don't

i don't

i don't wanna die

i don't

i don't

i don't

i don't

i don't wanna die

i don't

i don't

i don't

i don't

i don't wanna die

i don't

i don't

i don't

i don't

i don't wanna die

i don't

i don't

i don't

i don't

i don't wanna die

i don't

i don't

i don't

i don't

i don't wanna die

i don't

i don't

i don't

i don't

i don't wanna die

i don't

i don't

i don't

i don't

i don't wanna die

i turned on the news this morning and i looked at his face

guess i never really thought someone could die at my age

so i call my family

all the friends that i haven't seen

that could've been me

that could've been me
