No, no
what’s going on?
My stomach’s in my throat
This has to be wrong.
Tell me it’s not true
Tell me it’s not true
tell me, tell me, tell me
Oh, please tell me it’s not true.
I can see it in my mind
Those lights are flashing fast
Why were people so unkind?
Now you’re drowning in your past.
Who did this to you?
Who did this to you?
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, who did this to you?
I keep checking my phone
No messages appear
I think of you, all alone
The pain that no one could hear
Tell me you’re alive
Tell me you’re alive
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Please, just tell me you’re alive.
I want to hear you gush about space again
I want to see the excitement on your face when you talk about something you love
I want to see that icon flash up on my phone and read your messages
I want to understand
I want you to trust me
I want you to live
I want you to want to live
I want you
to want to live
I want for you to be happy
My friend,
Please don’t leave me in an ambulance.
