If I leave tomorrow

Would you be alright

Would you be filled with sorrow

Would you put up a fight

How can I protect you

When I don’t feel alright

If I just vanished

Do you think you’d manage

Or would you disappear right beside me

Do you think you’re ready

When I go unsteady

Lover, please prepare for my absence

If I left the country

Would you search and search

Or would you give up easy

And find me in the dirt

Would I live forever

Or blend right into earth

If I just vanished

Do you think you’d manage

Or would you disappear right beside me

Do you think you’re ready

When I go unsteady

Lover, please prepare for my absence

Absence makes the heart grow stronger

Pray my baby will not squander

Everything to gain by my leaving

And if I can return the favor

Pray my baby always savors

Every moment we were both present

Cause if I just vanished

Do you think you’d manage

Or would you disappear right beside me

Do you think you’re ready

When I go unsteady

Lover, please prepare for my absence
