December - Presence Lyrics

Like the light at the end of the day
You're slowly fading away
I know that you are so tired
But I don't want to go to sleep tonight
It's not my place to be ready
But with eyes so heavy
Now the banks are waiting to break
This will wash away more than I can take
I'm not ready
Speak to me now while we have time
I want to know all about your life
It can carry on now even if you can't
I wish I could make this better
Ease your breathing and anxiety
Sorry I am helpless
My presence is all that I can offer
We are here with you
Let us take the strain
While you take each breath, but
Behind your jest and smile
I know how scared you are
Let's keep pretending we aren't
So we can make the most of what we have left
