The saddest longest goodbyes drag thru a bittersweet emotional grind A mix of memories and worries fluster my mind Even if you don't believe in miracles, you still look for a sign My tongue may be tied but the knot is in the throat Torn between giving up and overloading hope Doctors say they can manage the pain, but there's no antidote She won't ask for more care, afraid the kids and I will be left behind, broke A painful way to die creates a continuous cry Her continued sacrifice makes this an even harder goodbye Is hope worthy or worthless What's hope for if it's hopeless Hurt squeezes within my chest I hope my heart won't hope less as my world becomes worth less Hope and love is not enough to win this fight Illness has been rough in her tonight Hope pulls me around and pulls me thru, Optimism feels too cruel I'd give everything own no matter the stress And a knot in my throat cus there's no way this loss can hurt any less My love surges, but love don't pay surgeons We mistake saving a life feel like a burden Makes savings run dry like we didn't earn it When the well runs dry, it feels like the closing curtains A system for the privileged who can say crisis averted System traps doctors and nurses Paid thru insurance Paperwork needs endurance Like a fish needs water, but unfit for these currents No matter how love surges, love don't pay surgeons Is hope worthy or worthless What's hope for if it's hopeless Hurt squeezes within my chest I hope my heart won't hope less as my world becomes worth less Hope and love is not enough to win this fight Illness has been rough in her tonight Hope pulls me around and pulls me thru, Optimism feels too cruel I'd give everything own no matter the stress And a knot in my throat cus there's no way this loss can hurt any less Repeat after me We're gonna say Everything's gonna be Okay Except every empty hope eats away At our souls like soul decay I'm afraid this pain has been underpaid System's designed for profitable pain Profits over people is inhumane Profits over people is inhumane Profits over people is inhumane
