By The Bed Lyrics

By The Bed lyrics

Her eyes were closed when I caught her in bed

Oh, she seemed much happier then

I sat by her side and I couldn't help but cry

I was here for a reason and I

Finally understood and my oh my

Could only ask myself why oh why

Can't we talk this through and make things right?

Oh, I'd sure as hell like to try

Right about this time she opened her eyes

And asked how long I had been there

Well, my tongue was tied

I said nothing, I just stared

She said, "Oh, I didn't think you cared..."

Well, I wasn't ready for what she said next

She said, "There is nothing else that you can do

No, you can't understand what I'm going through

And if the world has changed, well, I'll be damned

Oh, 'cause I'm no good at being brave

Not even on the better days

And there are things we cannot save

No matter how hard we try

There is nothing else that you can do

No, you can't understand what I'm going through

And if the world has changed, well, you'll do fine..."

Oh, I tried, but no, I could not stand

I touched her with a trembling hand

I choked

I could not say goodbye

No matter how hard I tried
