And now this unfamiliar weight is on my chest. I distress, I'm distressed. My eyes are clouding now, but I see straight. This can't wait, it can't wait again.
This may not be the hand that we had hoped for - but it is the hand that we were dealt. Oh, it's the hand that we were dealt.
Your hands, your hands are they shaking now? Are you taking in without breathing out?
My steps falter with this labored but I'll exhale this oath to my death - to my death. And my words choke now in my throat but with force I will say "I'm sorry, I know that I promised."
This may not be the hand that we had hoped for - but it is the hand that we were dealt. Oh, it's the hand that we were dealt.
Your hands, your hands are they shaking now? Are you taking in without breathing out?
And now this unfamiliar weight is on my chest. I digress, I digress. I am sorry that I have to go but I'm not gone just yet, not just yet. And my words choke now in my throat but with force I will say, with force I will say "I'm sorry, I know that I promised."
Your hands in my hands, I won't fail you now. And my eyes shut and I breathe out. Your hands, your hands are they shaking now? Are you taking in without breathing out? Your hands, my hands are they shaking now? If my eyes shut will I breathe out?
