Antlers - Kettering lyrics

I wish that I had known in That first minute we met The unpayable debt That I owed you Because you'd been abused By the bone that refused you And you hired me To make up for that Walking in that room when you had tubes in your arms, those singing morphine alarms out of tune They had you sleeping and eating And I didn't believe them When they called you A hurricane thundercloud When I was checking vitals I suggested a smile You didn't talk for a while You were freezing You said you hated my tone It made you feel so alone So you told me I had to be leaving But something kept me standing By that hospital bed I should have quit but instead I took care of you You made me sleep all uneven And I didn't believe them When they told me that there Was no saving you
