If my house burned down and I was asleep
and I woke up amongst all the flames
and I felt my way out with my skin
melting off my bones like plastic -
intensive burn unit horrible pain
my parents won't stop crying -
would you visit me and look at my face
without getting sick?
If I lose my face will you look at me
as though I'm not a freak?
and If I lose my arms will you hold me tight
even though I cannot hold you back?
If I lose my voice will you listen to me
even though I cannot speak and
if I lost my legs will you be my friend
despite all that I lack?
If I drove home drunk and I wrecked my car
and I lost both of my arms,
never dress myself or wipe my own ass,
all it being nothing but my fault -
all consuming guilt for my stupid actions,
wish I could take it all back,
would you hold my hand even though it's just
figuratively?
Or if I had a stroke and I couldn't speak
and my left side is immobile -
I'm not retarded I can still think,
but when I try to talk I gurgle.
Or if I break my legs in a million spots
so both of them are worthless -
would you push my chair, would you still care,
and be my friend regardless?
If I lose my face will you look at me
as though I'm not a freak?
and If I lose my arms will you hold me tight
even though I cannot hold you back?
If I lose my voice will you listen to me
even though I cannot speak and
if I lost my legs will you be my friend
despite all that I lack?
If I'm squirting puss, if I'm all messed up,
if I speak in tongues, if I'm just all nubs,
I'm just a head and I'm better off dead
would you still be my best friend?
If I'm squirting puss, if I'm all messed up,
if I speak in tongues, if I'm just all nubs,
I'm just a head and I'm better off dead
would you still be my best friend?
There's not a lot that I can do
if you should choose to leave me.
I'm gonna miss you if you go
but I would understand you.
I don't need pity or sympathy
I've got enough of that on my own.
I just need you to look past my scars
so maybe I can learn to.
If I lose my face will you look at me
as though I'm not a freak?
and If I lose my arms will you hold me tight
even though I cannot hold you back?
If I lose my voice will you listen to me
even though I cannot speak and
if I lost my legs will you be my friend
despite all that I lack?
