My patience weakens as the fear grows I fall down a little deeper into the stench And everyday these feelings scrape my heart away So I've decided it's not worth it We laughed and we cried It's time - left this life I know - What you gave You said A better place awaits my arrival He's known for quite some time that I would soon be there And so I ask myself what's wrong with giving in? You never noticed 'cause it already died We laughed and we cried It's time - left this life I know - What you gave You said The letter - you read it You found it over near me My body just lay there So lifeless and so weary Look at the line The line that separates it all The good from the bad Heroic from cowardly running home I wanna be the one to give all of it You never cared to receive just what I gave I wanna be when I think about it I can't though because I've never been the one to say it all before We laughed and we cried It's time - left this life I know - What you gave You said We laughed and we cried It's time - left this life I know - What you gave You said The letter - you read it You found it over near me My body just lay there So lifeless and so weary
