Lyrics

There you lie on a hospital bed
Plugged into the wall, hanging by a thread
My stronger half on the precipice
Trapped in the arms of helplessness

The waiting room has coffee and tea
An old man asks, can he get some for me
And I say, that would be nice
And I flash him a smile
But what I really mean is

Why the hell were we born with hearts that can break
Why is life so short, it's a lot to take
If love's all around, where'd it go today
Why am I here alone, are there angels on the way

Well the doctor, he kinda looks like George Clooney
So maybe this is all just a movie
That old man with the tea will start to glow
Tell me all the stuff God wants me to know

The deal has been struck - we were born, we're gonna die
Gonna come a day when our warranties expire
Our hearts can break. We're way out on a limb
Hey, where's that cute doc
I got some questions for him

Like why the hell were we born with hearts that can break
Why is life so short, it's a lot to take
If love's all around, where'd it go today
Why am I here alone, are there angels on the way

And there you lie
On that hospital bed
We went from, hey honey, let's make some love
To I'm fucking glad you're not dead

I understand now, all that you mean to me
So I start bargaining with God
I'll be nice, I'll be good, forever
Please answer my questions

Like why the hell were we born with hearts that can break
Why is life so short, it's a lot to take
If love's all around, where'd it go today
Why am I here alone, are there angels on the way

Angels on the way, angels on the way
Am I all alone or are there angels on the way
Angels on the way, angels on the way
Am I all alone or are there angels on the way
Angels on the way, angels on the way
Am I all alone or are there angels on the way
Am I all alone or are there angels on the way
