We spend our whole lives trying to stop death Eating, inventing, loving, praying, fighting, killing But what do we really know about death, just that Nobody comes back
It lasted all night long The nurse stopped and she told me Relax kid you’ll be alright Every thing will be okay
Wait don’t leave Without saying good-bye Without saying good-bye
Don’t cry little sister now Hold tight, promise to be strong Just mask it down deep inside And pretend that nothing’s wrong
I’m sorry mother for what your boy’s become and Please forgive me father cause your son has forgot how to love
Wait don’t leave Without saying good-bye Without saying good-bye Wait please stay You’re not ready to fly You’re not ready to fly
There comes a point in life A moment when your mind outlives Its desires, its obsessions When your habits survive your dreams
When your heart stops It keeps from beating Your skin goes cold And you stop breathing
Wait don’t leave Without saying good-bye Without saying good-bye Wait please stay You’re not ready to die You’re not ready to die
