I'll tell you now, you broke my heart,
And you stood there and tore me apart...
She sat alone, day and night,
Without a friend, without a light...
Someday the sun will set for you,
Today its burning bright...
Help her find the dictionary,
Help her turn the page...
Two by two, four by four,
Pain and grief sprawled on the floor...
Life is like a race,
Life is like a neck brace...
Within four walls,
Beneath an old cover...
So I've been trying to wait this sickness out,
Cause they say it all gets better...
I don't think you understand yet,
I'm not sure that you have a clue...
I was always afraid to tell you,
How much I truly cared...
Watching as you slowly died,
Seeing cancer take your life...
Nocturnal night quiet and bleak,
Can't help but wish that you were here to speak...
