I was there I was there.. [Verse 2 – beat pulls back; distorted textures underneath] Your daughter held your fingers and whispered in your ear Your son stood by the window pretending not to hear Someone brought you flowers someone turned the TV down Someone said, “She looks peaceful” when you couldn't hear a sound The machines kept their rhythm The night kept moving on I stayed against your skin when everything else had gone [Pre-Chorus – rising tension, layered harmonies] Nobody talked about the ending not until they had to They spoke in careful voices ..like careful voices change the truth [Chorus – larger, more desperate] I was there when you came in I was there when you stayed I was there when they told you there was nothing more to save I was wrapped around your wrist while the whole world disappeared Just a little piece of plastic that you had to wear So.. I was there I was there.. [Bridge – drums almost disappear; piano and low drone] Then the room became so quiet Your heart was beating slow Your hand was getting colder but I didn't let you go Someone touched your forehead Someone began to cry Someone repeated you name again, and again.. Then a nurse approached us and reached beneath your hand The sound of me breaking when the scissors cut the band [Final Chorus – full sad banger; enormous drums, layered vocal] I was there when you came in I was there when you stayed I was there when they told you there was nothing more to save I was wrapped around your wrist through every hour, every fear Just a little piece of plastic that you had to wear Now I'm lying on the table with your name still printed clear I was there I was there I was there [End]
