White Bed

I came to you,
When you called.
And this is how you treat me?
Well, I won't be fooled.

I don't remember much
That night was a blur
All I see is you, the beer
And...her

Tell me I didn't attack you
That's something I'd never do.
I see you lain in this white sheet bed
As your life holds on to you

I count the bleeps of the machine
And the puffs of your oxygen mask
You promised to look after me
Was that too much to ask?

Yes, we'd drunk too much.
I didn't mean to hurt you
But you have to know, I see you here
I would never desert you.

I hold your hand, I'm pulled away
As the monotone bleep rings
I scream at them, don't make me go
Why do you do these things?

You hurt yourself
And it kills me
You let yourself go
Why must it be

Your heart hasn't stopped.
You're still alive
You can't be dead
I'm by your side
