[Verse 1:]
What do you do when your body gives up?
I see you try but your eyes don’t shine the same
What do you do when your body gives up?
I see you try but your eyes can’t hide the pain
What do you do when love fades away?
And the rest of your body disintegrates
What do you do when your body gives up?
I see you try but your eyes can’t hide the pain
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
What do you do when your body gives up?
I see you try but your eyes don’t shine the same
What do you do when your body gives up?
I see you try but your eyes can’t hide the pain
What do you do when love fades away?
And the rest of your body disintegrates
What do you do when your body gives up?
I see you try but your eyes can’t hide the pain
You couldn’t run from your fate
[Bridge 1:]
And in the blink of an eye
I saw your entire life on the lawn in front of me
Back to the kitchen with your brothers and sisters
And you in the corner where we took you home
And I remember the ride it was the first of your life
Everybody knew, what we were supposed to do
And the end of your life, wasn’t a minute in sight
There was a seventh that day, you were the seventh
[Bridge 2:]
The sun was the brightest that it had been all fall
So why not spend your last day in the middle of it all
Nobody wanted to speak, no one knew what to say
I kept walking away to cover my face
The man with no heart brought all of his instruments
Without hesitation he started to assemble them
It’s been years since my own mother sobbed
And all I could do was stand there and watch
Termination, an irreversible ending
When is the right time for me to give in and
Why was my initial reaction to cover my eyes?
I owe so much more to your life
The way that you lay is ingrained in my brain
And sometimes I relapse as I go through my days
Because without you it’s just not the same
A part of my family was taken away
[Ending Chorus:]
And I saw your soul go far away
And I saw your soul go far away
I saw your soul go far away
I saw it (let go)
I saw it (let go)
