Lyrics:
when I first came here
I sensed the danger
there is no truth here
only a stranger
you feel so helpless
[sits like a child]
there are no teeth left
within your smile
you’re just a body
that holds together
every limb that you,
you cannot sever
there is a tumour
blackest of humour
what you said to her -
I see right through ya
(as you fade away)
put this
mess back together
so we can stay here
and live forever
if we could put this
mess back together
then we could stay here
and live forever
you said there was no chance of
remission
when you broke down and you were crying in the kitchen
I held your hand, and I said “I love you”
I know your future’s written out and
I know that scares you
it is everything and it is nothing
it is all our fear and love at the same time
and I still keeps me up at night,
just thinking
i’ll never know what it like to stop
breathing
put this
mess back together
so we can stay here
and live forever
if we could put this
mess back together
then we could stay here
and live forever
if we could put this
mess back together
then we could stay here
and live forever
I didn’t know that this could happen
I didn’t know this was who you were
I didn’t know you could resent someone in so much pain
I didn’t know you didn’t want to be loved
I didn’t know you would refuse assistance
I didn’t know you were capable of denial
I didn’t know your words were hollow
I didn’t know she felt like she like she was wrong
I didn’t know what you put her through
I didn’t know you blamed her for you jaundice
I didn’t know you wished yourself misery
I didn’t know how to not repeat
I didn’t know you didn’t want to be saved
I didn’t know I could only save myself
and now I know
