You wanted to know if

If it was worth the pain that it has caused us.

Both our lives - subtract one life

To know why it was you deserved this



As simple as I can 

I'll tell you the difference

Between a pencil and a pen 

And where it will leave us now 

As your body lets you die, 

And I sit here still alive



In my memory I wrote you down in ink 

I never wanted to erase your story

Even with the tragedy it brings



The fluid in your lungs

That tells you you're losing, stop breathing

The medicine that comes will fix you 

Will help you but takes you from conscious to sleep

Place my hands to face and weep



In my memory I wrote you down in ink

I never wanted to erase your story 

Even with the tragedy it brings



Something beautiful

Something torn from my hands



I'm not ready for you to die



(I can't leave here like this, get away from her)

This day will end with a life complete

(that is not all that she was. I don't want to say goodbye yet)

This day will end with a life complete

My closest friend here in front of me



You wanted to know if

If it was worth the pain that it has caused us.

Both our lives - subtract one life

To know why it was you deserved this
