What You Needed to Hear

Allie Haydon, Zachary William Paradis

Thirteen steps to the door
But i'm betting you won't take one
Beer in your hand, cigar on your breath
But I'll bet you don't see it yet

The cancer, it eats you like a bug on a leaf
You choke when you're trying to breath
I'm sorry if it hurts you but I think I should go
I think she would want me to leave

And I wish I had
Said what you needed to hear
Instead I just
Repeated what was easy to say

20 minutes til she calls
But I don't wanna be here that long
There's a door in the hallway with the light shining through
And I know you wanna turn it off

I wanted to know who you were and who
You'd been the whole time
But when I asked the questions, you changed the subject
And told me that you felt fine.

And I wish I had
Said what you needed to hear
Instead I just
Repeated what was easy to say

You sit with your back to the picture of us
Talking about her like you don't miss much
Stare at that screen without changing your face
I'll watch until you match the gray

And I wish I had
Said what you needed to hear
Instead I just
Repeated what was easy to say

And I wish I had
Said what you needed to hear
Instead I just
Repeated what was easy to say
