[Verse 1]
Imagine if I took my life, gave up on love and died tonight
I wonder who would cry for me
I'll never know, I'll never see
But I can still pretend, it's so magical to think about the end
The ones I loved would blame themselves
And wish that I'd reached out for help
And everybody else would try to analyze my suicide
Everybody wants to cry about some famous kid that died
[Chorus]
Tonight I'll light a candle and fantasize my funeral
[Post-Chorus]
Hm-hm-hm
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
Hm-hm-hm
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
Hm-hm-hm
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
Hm-hm-hm
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
[Verse 2]
All my bitch-ass enemies would blame themsеlves for killing me
Confess it in a еulogy, regret the things they said to me
My album would sell better and I'd probably trend on social media
Everybody wants to say, "I just saw him the other day"
Pretend that they were close to me
For thoughts and prayers and sympathy
Everybody wants to be best friends with the recently deceased
[Chorus]
Tonight I'll light a candle and fantasize my funeral
[Post-Chorus]
Hm-hm-hm
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
Hm-hm-hm
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
Hm-hm-hm
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
Hm-hm-hm
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
[Verse 3]
I know it's not my time to go
I still have so much room to grow
Secretly I think about the people I can't live without
There's so much hate I wish to fight
So much here to keep myself alive
The truth is I'm afraid of death, I never could commit to that
While immigrants and refugees ride
Blow up rafts through deadly seas
And here I am a privileged me with no concept for suffering
I think I'll shut the fuck up and donate to a charity
[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Tonight I'll light a candle and end this stupid ritual
