Don't judge me because I cannot stay~
I just can't face another day.
Please don't say "this is wrong"~
My souls been hurting far too long.

Don't tell me its Gods decision alone~
That he'll decide when I go "Home",
Its not that I am weak,
This world can't give the peace I seek.

I want to live & to stay,
And never leave in this terrible way,
Heres the secret,I'll give you the key~
So maybe then,you'll understand me.

Its not about wanting to die,
Or being without the courage to get by,
Nor because I dont care about those left behind,
I'll tell you the reason,what I'm trying to find~

A reason to pick my heart up from the floor,
A reason not to hurt anymore,
I don't need an excuse to die,
I need~

A reason to LIVE,
A reason to try.
