Never Saw You Like This Before

Focus
Focus
Focus on the ambulance
Because it must be on its way
But thoughts of you being gone are back
And keep coming back
So

Focus
Focus
Focus

And I hear you
Saying "hurry"
Over and over
Speaking to a no one
Who can't possibly be me
Because there's nothing I can do

Focus
Focus
Focus on the tears
That are now all over my cheeks
Because there's still nothing I can do
Wipe them away
Like trying to stop a faucet without the handle

No one knows what's going on
And all you do is cry
I try to do something
Anything
I can for you
But it seems there is either nothing or everything
That I could possibly do right now

I slip in something of yours
But that's okay
Because I need to find out
How to help you
And you say you took all your pills
And all you feel is the pain
And your body tries to get rid of it
In yells and screams,
And blood, and vomit
And everything it can.
Even your nose and eyes are running

Focus
Focus
Focus on the tires in the distance
Because they might be the ambulance
