[Intro]
Hmm-hmm
Oh, oh, oh
Hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm
Oh, oh, oh
Hmm-hmm
[Verse 1]
How would you feel if you heard the news
That I was dead?
What would you do if you found out from your friends
That I was dead?
Would you cycle through your mind
Think of all the things you should've said
Or coulda did differently
If I was dead?
[Chorus]
I'm just tryna say
Life is too short
Though I make mistakes, baby
I'm tryna make it right
All I'm tryna say is
Life is too short
All we've got is love, baby
And the time to make it right
[Post-Chorus]
If I'm alive that is (Hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm)
If I'm alive that is
Do you think of me at all? (Woah)
At all, at all
Would you think of me at all? (Hmm)
At all, at all
[Verse 2]
Who would you talk to?
Who would be your friend if I was dead?
Who would you run to?
Who would kiss your face if I was dead?
Would you cycle through your mind
Think of all the things, the good and bad
Seeing things differently
If I was dead?
[Chorus]
I'm just tryna say
Life is too short
Though I make mistakes, baby
I'm trying make things right
All I'm tryna say
Life is too short
All we've got is love, baby
And the time to make it right
[Post-Chorus]
If I'm alive that is (Hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm)
If I'm alive that is
Do you think of me at all? (Woah)
At all, at all
Would you think of me at all? (Hmm)
At all, at all
[Outro]
Goodbye
Hmm-hmm
Oh, oh, oh
Hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm
Oh, oh, oh
Hmm-hmm
Hmm
Hmm, hmm-hmm
Oh, oh, oh
Hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm
Oh, oh, oh
Hmm-hmm
