These Two Hands

The past came back and whispered in my ear
Suspended in time, the hour draws near
The future can't remember where it leads
The light in your eyes begins to leave

These two hands
Carried you out of this life

Every day I wake up paralyzed
We did all we could to keep you alive
Learn to live without you by my side
Wishing I'd been the one who died

My hands and my heart
Are empty
Missing this vital force
Within me

All that I am
Changed forever
I have to believe
It gets better
