As It Is - Austen Lyrics
[Verse 1]All the stories my father told,They spoke of your golden heart.Now the air in the room is cold,As your memories fall apart.[Pre-Chorus]You fear the silence,So I keep the words coming.You only remember thatOnce all the clocks stop running,We might expect itBut my heart's still filled with dread.And words I never said,Words I never said.[Chorus]Give me strength to see you weak,'Cause I can't bear to let you leave.I know you're tired, but please don't sleep,'Cause I can't bear to let you leave.[Verse 2]You've been claimed by your suffering,Sinking deeper in your pain.If you made a recovery,Could you ever be the same?[Pre-Chorus]You fear the silence,So I keep the words coming.You only remember thatOnce all the clocks stop running,We might expect itBut my heart's still filled with dread.And words I never said,Words I never said.[Chorus]Give me strength to see you weak,'Cause I can't bear to let you leave.I know you're tired, but please don't sleep,'Cause I can't bear to let you leave.[Hook]I tower over your hospital bed,Like you used to with me.I tower over your hospital bed,Like you used to...[Bridge]Strength to see you weak,'Cause I can't bear to let you leave.[Outro]Give me strength to see you weak,'Cause I can't bear to let you leave.I know you're tired, but please don't sleep,'Cause I can't bear to let you, bear to let you leave.
