[Verse 1]
Sorry for wasting your time
Five long months on a 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 was slow
There was so much I didn't know
So much I never knew about you

[Chorus]
And so we disconnect
The room grows quiet around us
It's called the life effect
Will it always surround us?

[Verse 2]
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 care
The bravest that I've ever been
Was when I ran away from you
[Chorus]
And so we disconnect
The room grows quiet around us
It's called the life effect
Will it always surround us?

[Chorus]
And so we disconnect
The room grows quiet around us
Not a thing left to protect
The end has finally found us

[Outro]
The day is almost over
It's almost time for bed
Now you've finally lost me
Rest your weary head
