Elegy
As the faded paint decays
The walls cry out your name
Your lonely flower died
But your visitor stays
And I wish I could believe
In a god I've never seen
In an armchair by your side
I dread the flat line
Don't tell me I'll be fine in the long run
If I can't have you I don't want anyone
Empty wishes framed on the bedside
Soothing words from a nurse with a fake smile
And your eyes will close
For the very last time
And I can't replace your heart again
You've got nothing good to say
To clear my thoughts away
But I don't mind
Now they're keeping me awake
How I wish I could believe
In a god I hope to see
I pray he chooses me
When I no longer have company
Don't tell me I'll be fine in the long run
If I can't have you I don't want anyone
Empty wishes framed on the bedside
Soothing words from a nurse with a fake smile
But your eyes will close
For the very last time
And I can't replace your heart again
You're gonna say your last words and I'm not gonna hear them
The walls cry out your name
Your lonely flower died
But your visitor stays
And I wish I could believe
In a god I've never seen
In an armchair by your side
I dread the flat line
Don't tell me I'll be fine in the long run
If I can't have you I don't want anyone
Empty wishes framed on the bedside
Soothing words from a nurse with a fake smile
And your eyes will close
For the very last time
And I can't replace your heart again
You've got nothing good to say
To clear my thoughts away
But I don't mind
Now they're keeping me awake
How I wish I could believe
In a god I hope to see
I pray he chooses me
When I no longer have company
Don't tell me I'll be fine in the long run
If I can't have you I don't want anyone
Empty wishes framed on the bedside
Soothing words from a nurse with a fake smile
But your eyes will close
For the very last time
And I can't replace your heart again
You're gonna say your last words and I'm not gonna hear them
