Song lyrics

And it came to me then
That every plan
Is a tiny prayer to Father Time
As I stared at my shoes
In the ICU
That reeked of piss and 409...

And I rationed my breaths
As I said to myself
That I'd already taken too much today,
As each descending peak
On the LCD
Took you a little farther
Away from me,
Away from me...

Amongst the vending machines
And year old magazines,
In a place where
We only say goodbye,
It stung like a violent wind
That our memories depend
On a faulty camera in our minds...

And I knew that you were truth,
I would rather lose
Than to have never
Lain beside at all,
Then I looked around
At all the eyes on the ground
As the TV entertained itself...

Cause there's no comfort
In the waiting room,
Just nervous paces
Bracing for bad news,
Then the nurse comes round
And everyone lifts their head,
And I'm thinking of
What Sarah said,
That love is watching someone die...

So who's gonna watch you die?
So who's gonna watch you die?
