[Intro (spoken)]
Evening
[Verse 1]
Her eyes were closed when I caught her in bed
Yeah, she seemed much happier then
I sat by her side, and I couldn't help but cry
I was here for a reason, and I
[Chorus]
Finally understood, and my, oh my
Could only ask myself "why, oh why?"
Can we talk this through and make things right?
Oh, I'd sure as hell like to try
[Verse 2]
Right about this time, she opened her eyes
And asked how long I had been there
Well, my tongue was tied
I said nothing, I just stared
She said: "Well, I didn't think you cared"
Well, I wasn't ready for what
She said next, she said
[Chorus]
"There is nothing else that you can do
Well, you can't understand what I go through
And if the world has changed; well, I'll be damned"
Oh, 'cause I'm no good at being brave
Not even on the better days
And there are things we can not save
Oh, no matter how hard we try
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
She said, "there is nothing else that you can do
No, you can't understand what I go through
And if the world has changed; well, you'll do fine"
Oh, I tried, but no, I could not stand
I touched her with a trembling hand
I choked, I could not say goodbye
Oh, no matter how hard I tried
