[Verse 1] Dact, you looked so tired Bare feet on the tile That thin hospital gown And that brave little smile You joked at the clock Like it owed you a day But the room held its breath When they called your name [Pre-Chorus] And I hate this ache This cruel, slow flame Taking pieces Then asking for more Hold on, Dact Stay right here I need your laugh In the next room [Chorus] Dact, I’m sick of cancer Sick of the way it steals Sick of the nights it drags And the hurt it makes you feel Dact, I’m still with you I’m still here Dact, I’m sick of cancer And I want you near (Dact) (I want you near) [Verse 2] Your mother held your hand Your brother stared at the floor The flowers by the sink Kept dying out some more You said, “Tell me the truth” Then you nodded slow Like you already knew What no one wants to know [Pre-Chorus] And I hate this ache This cruel, slow flame Taking pieces Then asking for more Hold on, Dact Stay right here I need your laugh In the next room [Chorus] Dact, I’m sick of cancer Sick of the way it steals Sick of the nights it drags And the hurt it makes you feel Dact, I’m still with you I’m still here Dact, I’m sick of cancer And I want you near (Dact) (I want you near) [Bridge] If your hands shake, I’ll hold them If your voice breaks, I’ll hear If the world gets too heavy I’ll sit right there No grand words No perfect cure Just this love That stays for sure [Final Chorus] Dact, I’m sick of cancer Sick of the way it steals Sick of the nights it drags And the hurt it makes you feel Dact, I’m still with you I’m still here Dact, I’m sick of cancer And I want you near (Dact) (I want you near)
