You choose the words you say like everything depended on you
You think the friends you know will pull you through
I had so much to give, it never brought me closer to you
You’ll make the best of it, it’s true
I never want to see you live through any kind of pain I could give
Those years I towed the line waiting for the drop of a shoe
I turned the other cheek to see it through
Is this the way it ends together in a hospital room?
You took your dying breath too soon
I never want to see you live through any kind of pain I could give
And all those pretty things we say, they’re never gonna wash away
Heaven’s not a place we can stay
I don’t want to live feeling low down
I never want to see you live through any kind of pain I could give
And all those pretty things we say, they’re never gonna wash away
Heaven’s not a place we can stay
