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 and all my favorite colours
My sisters and my brothers
Still
I will not kiss you
Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you

I will not kiss you (turn away)
Lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt (turn away)
Lips are chapped and faded faded
Kiss you (turn away)
Lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt (turn away)
Lips are chapped and faded faded

Turn away
Cause I'm awful just to see
Cause all my hair's abandoned all my body
All my agony
Know that I will never marry
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
I’m counting down the days to go
This just ain’t living
And I just hope you know

I will not kiss you (turn away)
Lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt (turn away)
Lips are chapped and faded faded
Kiss you (turn away)
Lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt (turn away)
Lips are chapped and faded faded

If you say (if you say)
Goodbye today (goodbye today)
I'd ask you to be true (I'd ask you to be true)
Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
Yes the hardest part of this

I will not kiss you
Lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt
Lips are chapped and faded faded
Kiss you
Lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt
Lips are chapped and faded faded
