Lyrics

Kettering

I wish that I had known
In that first minute we met
The unpayable debt that I owed you
'Cause you'd been abused
By the bone that refused you
And you hired me To make up for that
Walking in that room
When you had tubes in your arms
Those singing morphine alarms
Out of tune
They had you sleeping and eating
And I didn't believe them
When they called you a hurricane thunderclap
When I was checking vitals
I suggested a smile
You didn't talk for a while
You were freezing
You said you hated my tone
It made you feel so alone
So you told me
I ought to be leaving
But something kept me standing
By that hospital bed
I should have quit but instead
I took care of you
You made me sleep and uneven
And I didn't believe them
When they told me that there Was no saving you
