Just Exist

I was once asked how I'd like to be remembered And I simply smiled and said "I'd rather stay forever" It was possibly my loudest cliché But felt better than just walking away I don't know what my legacy will be A song, some words I wrote, or a kid I'll never see All of these things scare me half to death I'll suffer the day just hoping for the best But that's not to say I don't think that all of this can change But that's not to say I won't wake up some day With a lion's pride that I'm going to be okay If again I'm asked how I'd like to be remembered Next time I'll be better prepared for the answer But you'll never know much of the truth, so I'll just exist It's all I can do So much to consider and too much to grasp To swallow mortality is enough of a task And leaving your mark is just too much to ask I'll just bow my head and leave out the back
