Try Not To Die

December 8, 2012
By Anonymous

I know that,
We belong to two different worlds,
And I know that,
I'm not the girl that you deserve,

I love you so much,
More than you'll ever know,
But I'm not the one you need,
So I guess you should go,

Go away,
Before I change my mind,
Go away,
Before I start crying,

But...

Before you go,
Please give me a smile,
For the last time,
Hold me tight,
Without any tears,
Say 'Goodbye',
Maybe this will help,
Or maybe not but I'll try,

I'll try not to cry,
And I'll try not to die...!!!

I'm trying to be tough,
I'm trying to be strong,
But I can't help thinking,
'This life's too long',

I can't spend,
Even a day without you,
How will I survive?
I don't have a clue,

Go away,
Before I go weak,
Go away,
Before the real me starts to speak,

But...

Before you go,
Please give me a smile,
For the last time,
Hold me tight,
Without any tears,
Say 'Goodbye',
Maybe this will help,
Or maybe not but I'll try,

I'll try not to cry,
And I'll try not to die...!!!

Don't worry about me,
Care about yourself,
I'll forget all about you,
I'll forget all that I felt,

So go away,
I won't cry,
And even if I cry,
Someday my tears will dry,

But...

Before you go,
Please give me a smile,
For the last time,
Hold me tight,
Without any tears,
Say 'Goodbye',
Maybe this will help,
Or maybe not but I'll try,

I'll try not to cry,
And I'll try not to die...!!!

It's about a girl who wants her love to go away because she knows that she is not the right girl for him...!!!

although I liked it as been mentioned the theme is over used I do in fact use that theme often myself I think  you need to make it more original like another take on the heartbreak etc apart from that it is good and speaks to me on a personal level

  You're talking about the THEME.. But I think you're here to share your opinion about the SONG.. Every song is different even if it has the same theme.. And I think this one is very different from the others..!! P.S. I'm not mad at you  :) :) :)

I am an artist bound only for the poet&#039;s glory....But only achieve half of the success that my dreams aspire to find, And to what do the whispers tell me of this failure...To what end to they haunt my nightmares...my eternal dark dreams...

honnestly im gonna say what i tell everyone who writes a love poem or story or break up poem.../story. "its deep and it tells me what you gone through, so good job" but rlly again u may not have noticed.. but love/breakup storys,poems and such are a very common thing rlly to common so i would say you should write about somthing less people write about so u stand out dfrom the crowd. thats my honnest crtiqe im just trying to help :) so dont get mad  i tell this to everyone who writes a love/breakup  poem ,story or article and wants me to read and comment. :D
