All the stories my father told
They spoke of your golden heart
Now the air in the room is cold
As your memories fall apart[Pre-Chorus](
You fear the silence)
So I keep the words coming(
You only remember that)
Once all the clocks stop running(
We might expect it)
But my heart's still filled with dread
And words I never said(
Words I never said)[Chorus]Give me strength to see you weak'
Cause I can't bear to let you leave
I know you're tired, but please don't sleep'
Cause I can't bear to let you leave[Verse 2]You've been claimed by your suffering
Sinking deeper in your pain
If you made a recovery
Could you ever be the same?[Pre-Chorus](
You fear the silence)
So I keep the words coming(
You only remember that)
Once all the clocks stop running(
We might expect it)
But my heart's still filled with dread
And words I never said(
Words I never said)[Chorus]Give me strength to see you weak'
Cause I can't bear to let you leave
I know you're tired, but please don't sleep'
Cause I can't bear to let you leave[Bridge]I tower over your hospital bed
Like you used to with me
I tower over your hospital bed
Like you used to...[Chorus]Strength to see you weak'
Cause I can't bear to let you leave
Give me strength to see you weak'
Cause I can't bear to let you leave
I know you're tired, but please don't sleep'
Cause I can't bear to let you, bear to let you leave
