I've said it with alarm

Some part of me was lost in your sleeve

Where you hid your cigarettes

From the bed near your death

And all the machines that made a mess

What’s left is only bittersweet

Admitting the best is behind me

Now I’m drunk and afraid

Wishing the world would go away

What’s the point of singing songs
                      C/F
If they’ll never even hear you?
