Do you mind if I don't watch you die?
I can hear you looking at me
I can see your about to leave
But do you mind if I just sit with a cup of coffee balanced on my knee
I can’t bare to see
As you leave me
I can watch the heavens fall from the sky
And I can watch the flowers die
I don’t mind seeing the last dove fly
But do you mind, do you mind do you mind…
If I don’t watch you die
I will hold your hand, one last time
And of course I’ll be here, I’ll stick around
You won’t be alone as heavens bells chime
But I’m afraid I can’t cross the line
I can’t watch you die
In a white room with a strange smell
She was painfully aware she wasn’t well
I couldn’t stay, I didn’t want to leave,
I wanted to go, I wanted to grieve
Its exstremely hard to watch love ones die
Its even harder when they see you cry
Do you think they mind, if we don’t watch them die?
