Favourite Patient 歌词

When you get home from work You change out your shirt I watch the light just play and fall Right off your skin In the flickers of the moonlight I can tell that something's not right That there's a whole world in there That you won't let me in To understand it how could anyone even begin? So you ask me how my day went I try to feign some sense of achievement And I run my mouth till I forget I haven't asked you a thing My selfish little mind ran away with itself again Maybe I'm too scared to ask you Or it's the insignificance of all that I do When I spend my time walking around in all I've left unsaid While you've been working all night and the ward's running out of beds I finally ask you how your day went You say you lost your favourite patient While I was working on a masterpiece no one will ever hear I can't help but think what the hell is it that I'm even doing here Because your life is in the moment What is needed, most important You put yourself to one side and provide Do what needs to be done Mine is a world of my own making Words I've swallowed, time I'm taking You don't judge or ever question what it is I do it for But I watch you and I know I could do so much more I hope I can help in some way I hope I can help in some way I hope I can help in some small way I hope I can help in some way I hope I can help in some way I hope I can help in some small way
