austen

all the stories my father told

they spoke of your golden heart

now the air in the room is cold

as your memories fall apart

you fear the silence

so i keep the words coming

you won't remember them

once all the clocks stop turning

we might expect it

but my heart's still filled with dread

and words i never said

words i never said

give me strength to see you weak

'cause i can't bear to let you leave

i know you're tired

but please don't sleep

'cause i can't bear to let you leave

you've been claimed by your suffering

sinking deeper in your pain

if you made a recovery

could you ever be the same?

you fear the silence

so i keep the words coming

you won't remember them

once all the clocks stop running

we might expect it

but my heart's still filled with dread

and words i never said

words i never said

give me strength to see you weak

'cause i can't bear to let you leave

i know you're tired

but please don't sleep

'cause i can't bear to let you leave

i tower over your hospital bed

like you used to with me

i tower over your hospital bed

like you used to. strength to see you weak

'cause i can't bear to let you leave

give me strength to see you weak

'cause i can't bear to let you leave

i know you're tired

but please don't sleep

'cause i can't bear to let you

bear to let you leave
