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
