Will You Watch Me Die?

I’m lost in here.
I am so alone.
Please come to me so that I don’t die alone.
Just to see your face would ease my pain.
Without you here, it’s not the same.
I’m stuck in a storm at sea.
With nobody on shore to guide me.
I’m running to save my life,
But there’s nobody here to hide me.
I’m crushed beneath the waves.
My life is crashing on the rocks below.
As I lay here dying,
Please come to my side.
They say true love is watching as the one you love dies.
So please just come to me, 
So I can die knowing, 
Somebody loved me as I died.
So I can die knowing,
Somebody loved me enough to cry.
