Alone, I count the hours
And wait until the phone has rung
I feel the fear beneath my lungs

I know what she'll be saying
My hand is shakin like a leaf
I know she might be gone before

Before the week is done

I can't say goodbye
And I don't wanna try
I hope they removed your cancer
I will be the last
To run from the past
I hope they removed your cancer

Now you would always tell me
That grief and sorrow make us strong
But I just feel I can't go on

Shall I inherit sunshine
I feel it slip away from me
I hope to find it one more time

Before this life is gone
