We spoke a while Christmas morning
Talked of music gifts and bread
You showed us just how large the holes are
In the shirt you wear to bed
Abbie gasped and was embarrassed
We both laughed that she turned red
I promised I'd send a replacement
You said I had, it's in the bin
I wish I knew
If your able to understand
Wish I knew, If you can
Wish I knew
We would never speak again
Wish I knew, if your there
I beg the nurses for a moment
Some understanding of what is left
On the phone I search for markers
That you know me, or what I said
I should have said something important
I didn't know there so much left
That I didn't ask or answer
Wish we talked longer, than we had
You kept us all away
Tried to keep her safe
This is what you tried to avoid
Now you're there all alone
Fighting unknown foes
Are you waiting for us to save you
Are you waiting, are you waiting
To save you
Are you waiting, are you waiting
To save you
Now we talk about your future
Brady bunch is on the task
Is this what you would have wanted?
Is it better that you can rest
We've been told your barely eating
Push the tray away too fast
Are you choosing or reacting?
Have you given up at last.
I wish I knew
If your able to understand
Wish I knew, If you can
Wish I knew
We would never speak again
Wish I knew, if your there
