lyrics

A woman crying in the kitchen
A man who is lost beyond himself
A child is dreaming
Silently screaming
She lived completely for another
Then I watched him run away
He was running from his demons
And the one thing he couldn't outrun

To protect me is your wish
But I begged you for the truth
Though I'd rather never hear it
Little white lies are no use

You were crying in the garden
I did not know what to do
You would always try to shelter me
There was no one to shelter you

To protect me is your wish
But I begged you for the truth
Though I'd rather never hear it
Little white lies are no use

I was sitting at the bedside
Every day I would always be on time
The weeks went by and then he passed away
What was going through his head?
Do I even want to know?
As he weakened
As he withered
Maybe he knew that he had to let go

I could see the end was coming
Though I did not want to see
When he was gone I watched you crumble
Knowing that all you had was me
