They set your chair away from mine.
And tell us not to cross the line.
A hand I cannot hold is near.
I touch you with the words they hear.
You search my face for what is true.
I let the room fall out of view.
Your face brings back the open air.
For just one breath, I take you there.
I say you never knew the plan.
I keep you safe the way I can.
They hear the words I have to say.
You hear the love I hide away.
Just five minutes more.
Keep your eyes on me.
Let them believe the words I say.
You know what they can't see.
Just five minutes more.
Keep your eyes on me.
I cannot take your hand in mine.
But you can still reach me.
You start to speak. I hold your gaze.
I see the years beyond these days.
Don't try to save me with your name.
I will not let you share the blame.
No ink can show the love we knew.
I leave the rest of me with you.
They watch my mouth. You watch my eyes.
You hear the truth beneath the lies.
I say you never knew the plan.
I keep you safe the way I can.
They hear the words I have to say.
You hear the love I hide away.
Just five minutes more.
Keep your eyes on me.
Let them believe the words I say.
You know what they can't see.
Just five minutes more.
Keep your eyes on me.
I cannot take your hand in mine.
But you can still reach me.
If I could have one day with you,
I'd choose the life we never knew.
I want to live. I want to stay.
But I won't trade your life away.
Just five minutes more.
Keep your eyes on me.
Let them believe the words I say.
You know what they can't see.
Just five minutes more.
Keep your eyes on me.
I cannot take your hand in mine.
But you can still reach me.
They say it's time. I let you go.
My lips stay still. You know. You know.
