All I hear

[tick, tock, tick, tock]
It's all I hear.
Nothing I want to hear.
[beep, beep, beep]
It's all there is.
Nothing I want to be.
A shadow of what was once my heart,
holding it tight one last time.
Soon it will be cold.
Soon it will be me.
[tick, tock, tick, tock]
The clock tries to be silent.
It doesn't want to run.
[beep, beep, beep]
The machine feels the blame.
It doesn't want to stop.
This one before me,
it is no longer you.
You left me moments ago.
You left me all alone.
[tick, tock, tick, tock]
Where was I when it happened?
Why wasn't I where you were?
[beep, beep, beep]
Why wasn't it me?
Why weren't you me?
They said it wouldn't be long,
yet time seems to crawl.
Shuffling closer, granting me time.
Shuffling closer, stealing my time.
[tick, tock, tick, tock]
No matter what they say,
my heart shall never forget.
[beep, beep, beep]
Grant me one selfish wish.
Grant me that...
My heart, I know I must let you go,
but I know I shall never be ready.
I don't want it to end.
Don't let it end.
[tick, tock, tick, tock]
I will be here for you
and you will be there for me
[beep, beep, _____ ]
I will wait for you,
If you will wait for me.
[tick, tock, tick, tock]
It's all I hear.
Nothing I want to hear.
[tick, tock, tick, tock]
It's all I hear.
Nothing I want to hear.
