Act Like I'm Dead

Act like I'm dead.
Act like you'll never see me again.
Act like you wish you could really say how you felt about me but can't now.
Cause it seems like people who "care" about you take you for granted while you're here. And regret it when you're gone.
I want you to act like I'm dead so you won't take me for granted while I'm still here.
Cherish my qualities.
And accept my flaws.
I don't want you to love a piece of me.
I want you to love all.
So act like I'm dead and I promise you, you'll never regret not doing something when I'm gone.
Cause you'll cherish and care about me more knowing that life has an expiration date.
And I could be here today, gone tomorrow.
Not saying that I'm gone be gone soon.
But I know life is unpredictable.
I don't want to wake up one day and cry because you gone and I forgot to share my love for you.
That would be miserable.
So I'm gone act like you dead.
I'm show you off, love you, talk to you ever so gentle.
Cause love is 99 percent mental.
I'm gone love you everyday like its my last.
I'm talking about all our heart breaks and let downs.
We gone heal together like a cast.
I just want you to know I'm gone love you and care for you like you not here no more.
Cause I'm gone regret one day if you don't walk through that door.
So, act like I'm dead!
