He could tell she spent the last week in pain
He saw the pills but he chose to look the other way
Opens his eyes it's a brand new day
Her hair on his pillowcase pushes everything away
Was never good at finding the right words to speak
He was strong but she was so weak
Remembering the times they'd play this game of life
Displayed proudly living with his future wife
We are what we are oh well
We do what we do so well
Runs his hands through her hair, touches her face
Can't help but to wonder if her demons kept their space
Today's the day, tomorrows too late
And if fate can keep the pace they're gonna run away
Shakes her once for fun and twice with love
The third could have passed as abuse to some
But she's not waking up and he's not breathing cuz
Regret and realization rips out his guts
We are what we are oh well
We do what we do so well
