I know lots of people
girls and guys
I get some attention
but at all the wrong times
not when I need it
not when I'm in pain
I wonder,
am I sane
I feel so alone
more often than not
why is it so hard to find somebody to call my own
if I were to die right now
would anyone miss me?
the funeral would come
and people would show
wow, look there all here to see me
everybody would come
and cry their eyes out
I'm all that's on their minds
true love, I finally feel some
the best day of my life
to bad I'll be dead
but I hope I'll be able to watch
for a few hours one day
words about me is all everyone will say
the best time of life
after all these years
is felt at my funeral
with a couple of tears
that isn't right
it's not how it should be
I want people to cry about me
but because I'm alive
because I touch there lives
but you don't realize what you passed up
until he's dead
why am I waiting any longer
go get those tears
make up for all the years
friends till the end I've heard
well,
now's the end

This is great, well it's great that you wrote it but not that some many of us go through it.  We have to hold on for a better day.

God bless
