We stared at the ceiling lying in bed
As the sickness in your body spread
Never knew i'd love you, but you finally proved me wrong
You always were a fighter, and dying's never seemed so strong
As they days went by you danced with death
Until the lights went out, your final breath
Your body at war came and went in a year
Though I know what's coming, it's never easy to hear
When I have said all I want you to know
When all the sickness eats at your bones
Will you come around then?
When the world found out you were going to die
It opened up its' arms, but sometimes love's a lie
Hearing those 'I love you's didn't matter anymore
Their passing glances shown right through the masks they wore
