Returning The Smile You Have Had From The Start - Emery

You wanted to know if

If it was worth the pain that it has caused us

Both our lives — subtract one life

To know why it was you deserved this

As simple as I can

I’ll tell you the difference

Between a pencil and a pen

And where it will leave us now

As your body lets you die

And I sit here still alive

In my memory I wrote you down in ink

I never wanted to erase your story

Even with the tragedy it brings

The fluid in your lungs

That tells you you’re losing, stop breathing

The medicine that comes will fix you

Will help you but takes you from conscious to sleep

Place my hands to face and weep

In my memory I wrote you down in ink

I never wanted to erase your story

Even with the tragedy it brings

Something beautiful

Something torn from my hands

I’m not ready for you to die

(I can’t leave here like this, get away from her)

This day will end with a life complete

(Get away from her, from her now)

(That's not all, that’s not all, that she was

I don’t want to say goodbye yet)

This day will end with a life complete

(this day will end this day)

My closest friend here in front of me

(Will end this day will end this…)

You wanted to know if

If it was worth the pain that it has caused us

Both our lives — subtract one life

To know why it was you deserved this
