As It Is - Austen lyrics

[Verse 1] 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
