Don'T Cry When I'M Gone

Can’t anybody here see that I’m dying?
The mere sight of my weary soul!
You’re all absorbed in senseless passion 
Blinded by your own desires
No one sees my anger 
No one sees my grief
Don’t cry when I’m gone.

 Can’t anybody see me standing here?
Drowning in my own tears
Death is at my doorstep, do you even care?
Years have passed
No one has noticed
Locked away from your care
Don’t cry when I’m gone.

Can’t anybody see my sadness?
Neglected by love
The time has come for me to go, will you bid me good bye?
I’m finally dying
Leaving this world
But still no one notices
Don’t cry when I’m gone
