sorry for wasting your time 
five long months on the telephone line 
hours of asking if you were fine 
and saying i was fine too 

sorry but ive got to go 
the birth was quick but the death is slow 
there was so much i didnt know 
and so much i never knew about you 

and so we disconnect, the room grows quiet around us 
its called the life effect, will it always surround us? 

who made you happy last night? 
i dont know his name, but christ can he fight 
as i fell, he told me you had a light 
i light that shone inside you 

i found myself a decent man now 
i love him because i can 
the bravest that ive ever been 
was when i ran away from you 

and so we disconnect, the room grows quiet around us 
its called the life effect, will it always surround us? 
and so we disconnect, the roon grows quiet around us 
nothing left to protect, the end has finally found us 

the day is almost over, its almost time for bed. so now youve finally lost me, rest your weary head....
