Can’t shake this helpless feeling
Where my hands are always tied
And there is no turning back
Nerves are through the ceiling
Losing the will to be alive
Feelings don’t replace the facts

Nobody deserves this kind of pain
I would sacrifice myself instead
To not see you wither like this
The treatment feels so inhumane
A strong man will beg for death
But they say this life is a gift

We’ve had our differences, sure
Also had the days of our lives
Now the missed time haunts me
Can’t battle this evil anymore
As you merely fight to survive
It all feels like a bad dream

Trying my best to be a man
Somehow keep my shit together
It’s what you’d want from me
The cold shake from your hand
I promise soon it’ll be better
Just not ready for you to leave

A cigarette in the ashtray
Is the only glow you have left
And we can both see the end
So many things for me to say
Before you take your last breath
But one day we will meet again
