life effect

Stars

Sorry for wasting your time
Five long months on the telephone line
Hours of asking if you were fine
And saying I was fine too
Sorry but I've got to go
The birth was quick but the death is slow
There was so much I didn't know
So much I never knew about you
And so we disconnect
The room grows quiet around us
It's called the life effect
Will it always surround us?
Who made you happy last night?
I don't know his name but Christ, can he fight
As I fell he told me you had a light
A light that shone inside you
I found myself a decent man now
I love him because I can
The bravest that I've ever been
Is when I ran away from you
And so we disconnect
The room grows quiet around us
It's called the life effect
Will it always surround us?
And so we disconnect
The room grows quiet around us
Nothing left to protect
The end has finally found us
The day is almost over
It's almost time for bed
So now you've finally lost me
Rest your weary head
