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 in all my favorite colors
My sisters and my brothers
Still
I will not kiss you
‘Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
Now turn away
‘Cause I’m awful just to see
‘Cause all my hair’s abandoned all my body
Oh, my agony
Know that I will never marry
Baby, I’m just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go
It just ain’t living
And I just hope you know
Lips are chapped and faded.
Faded.
I will not kiss you.
Kiss you.
Lips are chapped and faded.
Lips are chapped and faded.
Faded.
Goodbye today
I’d ask you to be true
Yes, the hardest part of this is leaving you
Turn away
‘Cause I’m awful just to see
Oh, my agony
Faded.
Faded.
Faded.
Yes, the hardest part of this
Kiss you.
Lips are chapped and faded.
Lips are chapped and faded.
Faded.
