Why do we want to live?

My reasoning my not be as clear when I wrote this to paper but it made sense to me. Lets see if you can make sense of what people call my psycho babble
I’m sitting here thinking about questions of life to pass time
And I laugh at my self in my mind
For I’ve come to the conclusion life means nothing
If you can’t measure it for yourself
Why do we want to live?
The is no purpose to anything
For what will be will be
I want to ask you all
If I where to kill you
What would you do?
Better question would you care that you died
I think not because you can care if you live but how can you care if you’re dead?
Now I ask how can you measure your own existence
Truth doesn’t count, what’s in your heart doesn’t, only one thing I can think of that will tell you this
For when you die
There will be some people do cry
You measure your life by how many tears are shed
But why should that matter you’d be dead
Or maybe you don’t want to know
Because maybe no one would weep a tear to see you go
And then you would have lived for nothing
So why would you want to live if it would mean nothing?
