"June" lyrics

The stories you told as you waited to die
I wish we could take you back to a simpler time
Your body was dying, but your mind stayed intact (Your mind stayed intact)
I knew you were ready to go, but you held on to say your goodbyes

We spent hours by your side
While you told stories to pass the time
You felt like a stranger
I pretended that was fine
Phone calls in the hallway
While people speak under their breaths
I paced around the hospital
Because I couldn't do anything else

The stories you told as you waited to die
I wish that we could take you back to a simpler time
Your body was dying, but your mind stayed intact (Your mind stayed intact)
I knew you were ready to go, but you held on to say your goodbyes

And on the day that we left
When we spoke for the last time
I'm sorry I was so distant
I just didn't want you to die

The stories you told as you waited to die
I wish that we could take you back to a simpler time
Your body was dying, but your mind stayed intact (Your mind stayed intact)
I knew you were ready to go, but you held on to say your goodbyes

Every day it felt the same
Watching you wither away

You'd had enough and were ready to leave
But couldn't bare the pain of watching her grieve
You'd had enough and were ready to leave
But couldn't bare the pain of watching her grieve
Saw her heart break as you lay there in pain
The room filled with silence we fought to maintain our hope
As the beat in your chest came to an end
And you took your last breath
