I should have stayed

My hero xxx

I sat watching you
How could I believe what they said
You lay innocently sleeping
Every now and then saying things whilst peacefully dreaming
How could I sit back and let it happen?
And how could life be so cruel?

I listened to your breathing throughout the night
Too scared to fall to sleep in case I missed a single moment
I sat and I thought
Thought about our childhood
About the fun the we'd had
This has got to be a terrible nightmare
What they were saying could not be true

Then something changed but I didn't know what
Next thing everyone had arrived to see you
But you were still fighting it out peacefully dreaming
So I left just for a brief time I wouldn't be long

And I came back within an hour
And I saw mom's face
I saw everyone standing there

Crying.

Why are they crying?

I heard some words,
no way were they true
And I ran
Ran straight to you
You were still sleeping just as I thought
Apart from I could no longer hear your breathing
This isn't funny now wake up!!!

But you didn't.
And then I had to leave, leave you there
And go home without you

And face the rest of my life without you
