Learning How To Die

I'm not a health professional in any way

But it's clear your days are numbered...clear as day

This situation is really strange

Tongue-tied and tired and full of shame

There's a change in your condition

Which indicates to everyone that you're leaving

There's a change in your colour and in breathing

Paying the greatest price of all

You're learning how to die

Learning how to die

You gave me life a million times

Now you're learning how to die

Meds have been reviewed by district nurses

Around the clock care, your share of curses

There's a record back home thats yet to be played

Unconscious people breathing deep nowadays

You're learning how to die

Learning how to die

You gave me life a million times

Now you're learning how to die

Learning how to die

Learning how to die

You saved my life a thousand times

Now you're learning how to die
