lyrics

Should we call a medic? Should we get you something that will help you sleep tonight, that will help you to forget today and all your worthless friends who care but don't know what to say? Now as you slide into sleep, listen to my voice and let the moonlight lightly caress your face, and let your head sink deeper into the abyss, and let your mind perfectly blank go perfectly blank.

They were frozen in their place. It was after midnight. Crack the window, breathing in the cold night air. Forget that it was only for your own sake you decided not to fight back. Yes, we all miss you, but you shouldn't come back. Nothing's changed here, and your friends still haven't found the words to make sense of how you left and how to fix our broken hearts. Our broken hearts.

Oh, it's a long way down. It's a hard road back, and they call you “sweetheart” to your face, whisper in your ear. It's the wrong way 'round. You know we've got a knack for always knowing just what not to say and saying it anyway.

See them whisper in their sleep, all those sighs and secrets. See the hours that we keep and the shabby treatment. Found you looking at a book, one you'll never read. Find the white hairs if you look. Please don't look at me the same way as your old friends that you don't talk to anymore. If I could I'd tear it all off the walls and start again. We'd start again.
