Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I wish that I had known in that first minute we met

The unpayable debt that I owed you

'Cause you'd been abused by the bone that refused you

And you hired me to make up for that

[Verse 2]

Walking in that room when you had tubes in your arms

Those singing morphine alarms, out of tune

Kept you sleeping and even, and I didn't believe them

When they called you a hurricane thunderclap

[Verse 3]

When I was checking vitals, I suggested a smile

You didn't talk for a while, you were freezing

You said you hated my tone, it made you feel so alone

And so you told me I ought to be leaving

[Verse 4]

But something kept me standing by that hospital bed

I should have quit but instead I took care of you

You made me sleep and uneven, and I didn't believe them

When they told me that there was no saving you
