Unanticipated and brought out of the fold
We could sense it taking over through the stories that were told Repeating every question, a moment you’re content
I’d listen to them every day if it only meant That the time spent together was unaware I won’t let you wither without me there
When the days set ahead feel too much to bear
I don’t always believe it, but I know you’re still here

Will you forgive me for turning my face?
Avoiding the pain in the suffering of your displace While you seek clarity through forgotten names
And the bookshelf of photographs you had in broken frames You’ll lose yourself in time, but I’ll hold your place
You’ll always find me right here waiting

Inarticulated and fading day by day
Look back on who you used to be, try not to look away
And I will hold your hand as you pass from this life to the next Because I know,
I know you need me to stay

We came to tell you goodnight, but ended up saying goodbye Writing was on the walls within your vital signs
(We could see the end)
They pronounced the time and then she started to cry (Please don’t go, not like this)
We came to tell you goodnight, but then we ended up staying and saying Goodbye
(Goodbye)
