My life shattered but won't give out My wife coughs out; words leave her mouth And it's a no, i was so ready to go Didn't we say so? All those times we played? Didn't we always find a way? Oh And look how she spares her pride, tears in her eyes; she's dead inside And from my chest - no reply; but sparks on wires my heart replies Nerves that can't form Words to reply Let me expire; send word to mum and sis; become a miss I hate when you see me like this Every wait weights upon our bliss It's all sorts of horrific; let me be specific Wouldn't it be terrific To just let me go; remember we were just so Soul to soul and oh so whole Not all of these charts and missives I liked you in control but i hate me this submissive Now i've hit the wall; time comes for us all It's unacceptable to contemplate my fall Now be swift and hit the switch; It's on the wall If it would please you i always believed in you; you know it's true Please don't look appalled Me and you were always one Now it's all for one And one for all
