Your Last December

You're the light at the end of a sterile hallway And it's the first time you've picked up your phone in days Your life run on refusal and forced resolve White shoes put out fires in front of your face You can't remember the last few weeks Adapt to the frailty and your sunken cheeks Your dreams of us flashed before your eyes December washed out in fluorescent light You didn't know how close you came to death Woke up to a lie about what comes next And my heart collapses as I leave the room But it's for the best that you didn't know the truth Was it innocence or denial You were already gone Was it innocence or denial You never knew how close you were cutting it We felt the weight but couldn't acknowledge it At the start I was scared that I would be the one to leave Now I'm just holding pieces you left for me You didn't know how close you came to death Woke up to a lie about what comes next And my heart collapses as I leave the room But it's for the best that you didn't know the truth
