Soft & Sweet - Laura's Lament Lyrics

"No more day dreams, I'm ready to go
Please stay here with me, this room is shivering cold"
Well, I felt nauseous, but he sat me up in bed
Against his shoulder, closed his eyes against my head
And I wish that I could stay longer
I wish that I could grow stronger
Like when I was nineteen
He said "I swear that I love you
And I could never forget you"
He's crying "Laura, don't leave"

And then something struck the west-wing
We saw the nurses all start running
He looked outside my window
Shook his head and drew the blinds closed
He said "Please don't worry, baby
Just picture one last day dream"
I couldn't stop from crying
I tried to picture us at nineteen
When my body wasn't like this
And I didn't feel so helpless
And I had a home to come to
And I had the strength to f*ck you
And so the real world started fading
And I wake in one last memory

So when the night comes to an end
I know what sleeping means
I hope I'll see your face again
I hope your world goes on without me
