09 Signal If I die

IF I DIE

[Intro]
If I die…
I just hope you know I loved you.
Even when I didn't say it.
Even when I pushed you away.
Yeah…

[Verse 1]
If I die, tell my mother I was grateful,
For every sacrifice, every time she stayed faithful.
I know I wasn't easy, I was fighting my own battles,
Sometimes I went quiet when my head got too crowded.

Tell my family I was trying to make 'em proud,
Even when I felt lost in the middle of the crowd.
I carried so much pain that I never really showed,
Smiled in everybody's face while I was breaking on my own.

I had nights where I questioned who I really was,
Wondered if the people that I loved would understand.
I made mistakes, yeah, I know I wasn't right,
But I learned from every wrong that I survived in this life.

[Chorus]
If I die, don't remember me for my mistakes,
Remember every smile, every memory we made.
If I die, tell my people that I cared,
Even when I wasn't talking, even when I wasn't there.

If I die, play this song when you miss me,
Close your eyes and remember who I used to be.
And if tears fall down when you look at the sky,
Don't be sad that I'm gone…
Be proud that I tried.

[Verse 2]
I know I got some people that I never called back,
Some “I love yous” that I should've said more than that.
Some apologies I carried but was scared to speak,
Some feelings in my chest that I buried too deep.

To my friends, if I leave, don't forget the nights,
All the stupid conversations, all the laughs, all the fights.
We didn't have forever, we just thought we did,
That's the crazy part about being someone's kid.

And to the person who loved me when I couldn't love myself,
Thank you for believing when I doubted everything else.
If I ever made you feel like you weren't enough,
I'm sorry — I was hurting, I was learning how to love.

[Chorus]
If I die, don't remember me for my mistakes,
Remember every smile, every memory we made.
If I die, tell my people that I cared,
Even when I wasn't talking, even when I wasn't there.

If I die, play this song when you miss me,
Close your eyes and remember who I used to be.
And if tears fall down when you look at the sky,
Don't be sad that I'm gone…
Be proud that I tried.

[Verse 3]
I still got dreams that I ain't finished chasing,
Places I ain't seen, memories I ain't made yet.
That's why I'm still here, putting pain into these lines,
Trying to turn my darkest days into a reason to survive.

I don't need them to remember every word I said,
Just remember I was human, I was scared, I was blessed.
I fell down, got back up, then I fell again,
But every time I lost myself, I found myself in the end.

So don't put flowers on my grave and forget me the next day,
Keep my name alive in every little way.
Tell the next generation I was here for a reason,
I had a heart full of dreams and I kept believing.

[Outro]
If I die…
Don't just remember how my story ends.
Remember where it started.
Remember who I loved.
Remember what I fought for.

And if I get another chance at life…
I'd still choose you.
Every time.
