I Won'T Suffer

As I sit there On the chair In the hospital And hold your hand And say Everything will be alright When I know That it wont Im trying to hold back All the tears That are trying to escape From my eyes You start to talk About what will happen When you die And I just cant hold back All the tears They start coming out Like they will never stop And you start to comfort me I am so selfish You are the one In the hospital bed Preparing to die And you are comforting me Thats just sick You are starting to let go Of this world I can sense it Coming to happen You tell me I have to promise you something And I say Of course You tell me To not suffer After you leave And I once again Say of course Then you let go of my hand And tell me that you love me Then close your eyes Tears are starting to come And all I can hear Is that solid line I just sit there While doctors and nurses Come running in I get up And walk out of the building And remember the promise That I made to you My promise is that I won't suffer
