Maybe Then...

When nothing matters anymore,
When you have lost all hope,
It's hard, no, it's impossible,
Impossible to cope.

When your one and only lifeline
Suddenly cuts the thread,
You find yourself just wishing,
Just wishing you were dead.

When you're heart is breaking slowly
Until it is beyond repair,
There's precious little you can do
To keep from drowning in despair.

When you hurt yourself while you're alone
In the darkness of your mind,
And pain and heartache mingle
And become slowly interwined,
You know there's nothing left,
That the world really wants you gone,
And you realize that it's over,
You just can't keep holding on.

When you take a knife and make the choice
To which the world will agree,
Maybe once you let go,
Maybe then you'll be free.
