Would It Be

Would it be just fine
If I stayed up all night
But still turned out the light
Sat in the dark and cried

Would it be alright
If I just closed my eyes
Pretend I don’t have to fight
For the rest of my life

Would it be okay
If I just wasted away
Slept in everyday
Until I forget your face.
