Turn away
If you could get me a drink
Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my Aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colors
My sisters and my brothers still,
I will not kiss you
'Cause the hardest part of this is leavin' you
Now turn away
'Cause I'm awful just to see
'Cause all my hair's abandoned all my body
Oh my agony
Know that I will never marry
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But countin' down the days to go
It just ain't livin'
And I just hope you know
That if you say
Goodbye today
I'd ask you to be true
'Cause the hardest part of this is leavin' you
'Cause the hardest part of this is leavin' you
